Change all literal "git", "wc" and "grep" strings throughout gitstats with corresponding <PROG>_CMD variables. (Also upper-case existing "gnuplot_cmd" variable while at it.) NixOS/nixpkgs[1] generally patch programs at build time to call their CLI deps with absolute paths (meaning: known versions of those deps). This makes packaging across different unix systems much more reliable. This patch makes it easier to do that build time patching :-) [1]: http://nixos.org/nix/
