+(** [get_toplevel_path program] builds a complete path to the
+ executable denoted by [program]. This involves:
+
+ - locating the directory: we don't rely on PATH as to make calls to
+ /foo/bin/coqtop chose the right /foo/bin/coqproofworker
+
+ - adding the proper suffixes: .opt/.byte depending on the current
+ mode, + .exe if in windows.
+
+ Note that this function doesn't check that the executable actually
+ exists. This is left back to caller, as well as the choice of
+ fallback strategy. We could add a fallback strategy here but it is
+ better not to as in most cases if this function fails to construct
+ the right name you want you execution to fail rather than fall into
+ choosing some random binary from the system-wide installation of
+ Coq. *)
