Looks ok, because bin never has subdirs (right?).
Otherwise one might expect that findExe("foo/bar") finds /usr/local/bin/foo/bar,
like KStandardDirs::locate() works in general (i.e. relative paths are relative to
the directories known by KStandardDirs, not relative to $PWD).

But for findExe I agree, being closer to the shell's behavior seems to make more sense
than being closer to usual KStandardDirs behavior.
