I think this change is too dangerous. It would make it impossible to
install foo if foo.exe exists, regardless of what was intended. I think
Cygwin support has to be handled at a different level, like EXEEXT in
Autoconf. (I remember writing this before, but can't find any record
that I sent it. Sorry if duplicate.) -k
