texinfo-4.11: test failures over `which' command |

texinfo-4.11 fails its self-tests on my system, specifically,
"dvipdf.test" and "texi2dvi.test".
Running the tests manually reveals that both stop with:
./defs: line 201: which: command not found
There is in fact no "which" command on my system. While I have heard of
it, it's not in coreutils nor in util-linux. It's also considered
obsolete in favor of the shell builtin "type", which is more accurate.
As it is also not on the list of allowed utilities a Makefile may depend
on in the GNU Coding Standards, I'd say the assumption that "which" is
available constitutes a bug in the tests.
