I am having trouble understanding your message.
I agree with Stefan that, as long as `file-executable-p' returns
meaningful values for remote files, there must be a meaning for
`exec-path', `executable-find' and `start-process' as well in the
remote case.
I can't translate the second half of that sentence into a concrete
meaning. What concrete cases are you talking about?
For `call-process' this has been done already,
What is "this"?
although I don't
understand why a new function (`process-file') was needed.
process-file looks for a file handler. It would be incorrect
for call-process to do that; it is NOT meant as an operation
on a file.
