While removing any usage of the deprecated `distutils` package,
("The distutils package is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.12.")
this internal utility can be removed straightaway because the
`shutil.which` replacement for `distutils.spawn.find_executable`
already honors the `PATHEXT` environment variable in windows systems.
