C version of "which"

[Larry J. Barello]

I suppose this has been done a million times before...

I was hacked off at the sluggishness of the "which" utility, so I
whipped up this C version while waiting for the shell version to
finish.  It produces identical output as the /usr/ucb version and
doesn't attempt to expand aliases (which is bogus unless one sets
their aliases in the .cshrc file).  It also issues a usage message if
one doesn't give it a list of files.

For those of you who don't have a bezerkly style unix, this program
should still work out Ok.
