The handling of .exe extension apparently changed from 1.5 to 1.7.
The new handling might break 'make install' targets which do not use
$(EXEEXT).
(It actually does for grub-1.97)
Testcase:
$ cygcheck -f /bin/cygwin1.dll /bin/install.exe
coreutils-6.10-2
cygwin-1.5.25-15
$ mkdir inst1 inst2
$ install /bin/echo inst1
$ install -s /bin/echo inst2
$ ls -1 inst?/*
inst1/echo.exe
inst2/echo.exe
$ cygcheck -f /bin/cygwin1.dll /bin/install.exe
coreutils-7.0-2
cygwin-1.7.1-1
$ mkdir inst1 inst2
$ install /bin/echo inst1
$ install -s /bin/echo inst2
$ ls -1 inst?/*
inst1/echo
inst2/echo.exe
