On Unixoid systems without the 'less' command, executing 
'pydoc.help(mod)' emits:

    sh: less: not found

which is annoying.  The attached patch gets it to quietly look for 'less' 
and 'more'.  I don't know if the locateexe() function is entirely correct 
(especially considering Windows) or if there are other pagers available.

backport candidate?  I know this behavior exists in 2.1.3 and 2.2.1.  
Dunno if it's more than a wart though.
