Yes, `locate-file' may be seen as a generalization of these, also
useful in other contexts. (E.g. finding data files, java classes,
whatever.)

locate-file is used internally by XEmacs in ways similar to openp, but
I think the interface is nice, regardless of how it is implemented.
For instance, if you think the Lisp version is slow, or requires
caching, etc., that can be added without breaking the interface.
