So we still have to pass EXEEXT through TESTS_ENVIRONMENT in
modules/*-tests for any test that uses a .sh file. But other than that,
all of our tests-*.sh no longer need to worry about EXEEXT, once they've
been converted to use init.sh. I like it.
Or go one step further, do the search for *.exe without regards to
$EXEEXT, skipping this case block, and simplifying modules/*-tests.

This is not portable to Solaris /bin/sh. Unless we take the same measures
as coreutils to ensure a (mostly) POSIX-compliant shell, I think we are
better off using only features supported by common /bin/sh.
