Not a good idea, if you ask me. Your exec-path and PATH outside of
Emacs should be in agreement (with the exception of the libexec
directory). Otherwise, Emacs will be able to find files that the
shell cannot, or vice versa.
So I would suggest to figure out why the shell outside Emacs can find
what Emacs cannot, and fix whatever causes that, instead of simply
adding directories to exec-path.
