Unless someone is not using bash. ;] The proper way is to remember the
full path or launch the same exact shell the user sees in Terminal
(which he choosen using chsh). Any other way will unfortunately lead to
suprises and confusion. The hardcoded path is not that bad as it seems
(especially since you may like to ship an svn binary with your app on OS
X but allow the user to change the config to use his own).
This is how most programs on OS X handle it (TeXShop, AVRFuses).
