Summary: test_commands assumes ls is in /bin

Initial Comment:
I got this test failure while building Python 2.2:
test test_commands failed -- Traceback (most recent
call last):
  File "./Lib/test/test_commands.py", line 43, in
test_getstatus
    self.assert_(re.match(pat, getstatus("/bin/ls"),
re.VERBOSE))
  File
"/fs/home/mount/home/prj/b/Python-2.2/Lib/unittest.py",
line 262, in failUnless
    if not expr: raise self.failureException, msg
AssertionError

My ls happens to be somewhere other than /bin.  It would
be nice if the test used a different file, such as "/",
".", or even "./Lib/test/test_commands.py".
