We could create a macro in init.sh that needs to be used when invoking a program, but I think it would be as error-prone as $EXEEXT (it needs to be used at all places that invokes a built program, just like $EXEEXT) only uglier -- after all, use of $EXEEXT is quite widespread and well understood. > If at all possible, I would like to avoid the invasive change > of adding the $EXE suffix to every just-built-binary invocation > in every test script. If it is possible to portable, it would be nice. But I don't think the cost of supporting $EXEEXT is that extreme -- the problem is easy to detect by doing builds using MinGW/Wine which I'm already doing. /Simon
