Unfortunately "whereis" is also not standardized :-((

CRAY:

t3e::151$ whereis echo
echo: /bin/echo /usr/man/cat1/echo.1

Linux:

whereis echo
echo: /bin/echo

Solaris:
whereis echo
echo: /usr/bin/echo /usr/ucb/echo /usr/man/man1/echo.1
/usr/man/man1b/echo.1b /usr/man/man1f/echo.1f /usr/man/man3x/echo.3x

It seems we need a script'ed solution. What about setting an 
alias "GRASS_WHICH='...'" containing the script from Andreas (to be set in
etc/Init.sh). Maybe that's a solution?
