Yup, but we've already shut down Emacs at this point, so I don't think
we can do much more.

But there is one check we could do at a more meaningful point: We could
check whether argv[0] points to a binary that exists at the start of
`kill-emacs' and then signal an error.  That will probably be the (by
far) most common problem in practice, so it's worth doing that, I think.
