  Ah yes, reading between the lines of Zack's subject: lines suggests
that he only wants to eliminate the x-* altogether.

  Since it's for head, I hope you won't mind if I take the liberty of
offering to backport it for 2.95.4 ?  Dealing with the Cygwin .exe 
suffixes is worthwhile for the VxWorks ppc port, and your patch is far
cleaner than the nightmare bodge I hacked together for my own use.  It
looks like yours might even apply cleanly with just a bit of fuzz, so I
will of course leave your name on the changelog!
