Is there official word?
Do you want to be portable to the cross-compilation environment of compiling for mingw on Linux, and using wine to run the results? Then keep it. While cygwin 1.7 has certainly gotten smarter about implicit .exe handling, there are other environments where .exe is still explicitly required, so properly using $(EXEEXT) in makefiles (autoconf provides a correct setting of this variable, rather than hard-coding it) can only serve to make your makefiles portable to more systems. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
