bash and all the other Unix tools never care for file extensions like
..bat or .com - they treat the filename as is, so you always have to use
the complete filename, when you want to run the file. One exception to
this rule are .exe files because of a patch to the cygwin dll.
The easiest way is to omit the file extension on all files - even on
..exe files.
