>Description:
	For years, I have used a modified `which' script which
	lists _all_ matching executables, instead of just the
	first one.  This is handy when one wonders if
	there are two versions of, say, gcc installed, and you
	want to check which one is being used.

	With the following patch, a flag of -a to `which' will tell
	it to _not_ stop at the first match.

	As an example, on one of our machines, we haven't cleared
	out the stale dump* executables in /usr/sbin.
	% which dumpfs
	/usr/sbin/dumpfs

	% which -a dumpfs
	/usr/sbin/dumpfs
	/sbin/dumpfs

	As it turns out, the second one is the more recent one,
	and should be used.

	Note that if a path component is duplicated, the -a flag
	will print out duplicates.  I don't think there's an easy
	csh fix for this.
	% set path = ($path /usr/bin /usr/bin)
	% which -a gcc
	/usr/bin/gcc
	/usr/bin/gcc
	/usr/bin/gcc

	I have found this to be a very useful feature for quite
	some time, but I'm not sure if there are compatibility
	reasons for not adding such functionality to `which.'
