I do want that.  But there is a reason nfsim-testsuite is separate
from nfsim itself, and the extensions (like my generate-h225-packet
tool) are co-developed with the tests using it, not with nfsim itself.

Why don't you add all of them to $PATH (if set and present)?  I
believe the following order would be best:

 1. "." (or better `dirname $testfile.sim`)
 2. $NFSIM_EXTPATH
 3. $srcdir/tools/extensions
 4. $pkglibdir

It is perfectly possible for a test suite to use extensions included
in nfsim _and_ extensions the test suite itself shipped.

This also makes the code simpler.
