findprog-in: Fix comment.

This function does not have an option for not following symbolic links
(like @code{stat} versus @code{lstat}). If you need this option, use
the Gnulib module @code{faccessat} with the @code{AT_EACCESS} flag.
+@item
+On native Windows, files whose basename does not contain a @samp{.}
+cannot be executed through @code{execlp} or @code{execvp}. Nevertheless,
+this function may return true for such files.
+@item
+On Windows, different facilities for executing a program have different
+ways of finding an executable file, by trying various suffixes. For
+example, @code{execlp} and @code{execvp} search for files with the
+suffixes @code{.com}, @code{.exe}, @code{.bat}, @code{.cmd}, when the
+file with the given file name does not exist. Whereas @code{cmd.exe}
+searches according to the @code{PATHEXT} environment variable. This
+function does not perform any search; it merely looks at the file with
+the given file name.
