Did you see the re-implementation of 'which' that Stephen Schulte is working on here?
https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/189 Its taken from Puppet to a certain extent I believe, with some backwards compatible handling that we thought we might need as well to handle existing custom fact assumptions. I think implementing that as a start takes us a long way, once you have control of the executable lookup, you can bend it your own way I believe. So this is most definitely a step #1 IMHO. ken.
