In an ideal world scripts should check for the uncommon tools it needs and
finish with the corresponding error message if missing.

Though, in this case, it can be replaced by a call to "tr -d '\15'" to remove
the unwanted chars, so not sure the above is worth the effort.

The FAQ assumes some knowledge from readers, they are not step-by-step
guides for robots and you can't explain everything in a FAQ entry ;-)

IMO, how $PATH works and when to use relative or absolute names is a very
basic knowledge, but if you feel that FAQ needs to be expanded feel free
to edit it.
