Right, Perl wants to be superschlau and adds the .exe suffix. That would work in Cygwins standard locations, where /bin and /usr/bin seems to be the same. Is this a Bug on the side of Perls "Configure" or rather a limitation in Cygwins .exe magic? As there is no official standard, how to deal with this, it remains a point of philosophy. So far it was the only case in 30 packages I compiled.
