That's not a bug, it's a vital feature. Consider all those Unix-y programs
that perform different functions according to the filename you invoke them
with. Most of them just use "if (!strcmp (argv[0], "name"))" constructs that
would fail if the .exe extension was left on. Clipping it off is probably the
best portability-vs-bugs tradeoff for cygwin.
