This has been documented in the instructions for building and installing
the cdk-src stuff. They do mention that "install" is not smart enough to
do this figuring out by itself, and that you'd have to manually install
the bits..

We ended up writing a small installation script that would work under Unix
and Cygwin32 - with a $(EXE) suffix on all the targets, that would be "" on
Unix and ".exe" on Win32 (deduced from the $COMSPEC variable being set).
