Thanks, the fix has been applied.

I had reworked the snippet in the meanwhile. It should be ok now.

No, we cannot do that. We precisely issue this line when we have not
seen that AC_EXEEXT was used, so we cannot depend EXEEXT. We need to
understand why it failed in pr19. I suppose you are not running Unix
here?
What you observe is that the test itself is not ready to be run under
Cygwin, i.e., I guess its configure.in doesn't include AC_EXEEXT.
That's the problem to fix.

I leave this to Tom.
