I thought _maybe_ cygwin was using something similar to the results of file
to figure out what was executable, but alas no. On the positive side it
should be an easy change to the source. It already recognizes .exe and .com
(remember those?) So, I would think there is a list somewhere of files that
can be executed.

Have you ever wonder what happens when you run "rm -rf / " but been afraid
