And no other path combinations can occur? strstr() is perhaps too lax,
but what about finding the last slash (if any) and comparing the rest
of the string (the full string when there's no slash) against "pygrub"?

"pygrub" is the preferred variant, "/usr/bin/pygrub" seems to be the
legacy variant, which will result in a warning to use "pygrub" only
(in case pygrub is enabled, of course).

I don't think we should test for other non-standard paths.


+        fprintf(stderr, "ERROR: this instance of Xen has been built without support of 
\"pygrub\".\n");

The other question (I'm sorry for my ignorance here) is whether pygrub
could come from anywhere else.

It would be possible to use that in case it is e.g. installed in
/usr/local/bin/pygrub (assuming the check above isn't modified).
