The syscalls.cc file (function stat_worker) contains the following lines:
 /* If we can't find the name, try again with a .exe suffix
 [but only if not already present]. */
 /* FIXME: Doing this is of dubious merit. */
 if (atts == -1
 && ((len = strlen (win32_name)) < 5
	 || strcasecmp (win32_name + len - 4, ".exe")))
 {
 debug_printf ("_stat_worker: trying with .exe suffix\n");
 strcpy (tmp, win32_name);
 strcat (tmp, ".exe");
 win32_name = tmp;
 atts = GetFileAttributesA (tmp);
 }
I don't know - is this code needed or not.
