Package: autoconf
Version: 2.59.cvs.2006.05.13-1
Severity: important

If crosscompiling an autotools based package with mingw for Windows using this 
autoconf version, the resulting executable misses the .exe extension.
Going back to autoconf-2.59a-9 solves the problem.

Steps to reproduce:
- install the following additional packages: mingw32, automake1.9
- Get a minimal autoconf/automake based project from 
http://filezilla-project.org/codesquid/hello.tar.bz2
- Execute the following commands:
  tar -xjf hello.tar.bz2
  cd hello
  aclocal
  autoconf
  automake -a
  ./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --target=i496-mingw32msvc
  make

Expected results: hello.exe
Actual results: hello
