Yes, I'm aware that foo.exe is not foo, but fileutils-4.1-1 contained
code which special-cased this situation, IMO very usefully. What I
would like to see is a ChangeLog entry or CVS log message or something
that corresponds to and explains the removal of that code.

The build system in question is not based on autoconf/automake.
