The difference is because the test library adds current directory and
test start directory into $PATH before a test is executed, see
add_paths() in the tst_test.c.

The .needs_cmds is for binaries installed on the system in /usr/bin/
etc. so it does not make much sense to call the add_paths() before we
process the array.

It should be safe either way but I decided to be less specific and only
check that something have been added there.

I will push it with the added runtest entries and fixed copyright then.
