Thanks for the hint Danny. I didn't know about that function... but I'm
sorry to say that

> (find-executable-path "java.exe")
#f

whereas from cmd:
> where java
C:\Windows\System32\java.exe

so the command line knows about it, and I can use it, but it is concealed
from Racket, even via find-executable-path. That's probably a more concise
statement of my problem!
