I have written something to do this (via the minibuffer). The first time you
do it in an emacs session, in reads all the directories along your shell search
path, and includes any executables it finds on its completion list. This takes
so long (a few minutes on a full system) that I hardly ever use it! But after
the first time, it is OK. If you're still interested, I'll post it.
