Odd. The native build of tcsh on Win32 seems to support this (it hashes 
both with and without .exe). See http://www.tcsh.org/MostRecentRelease 
and http://home.blarg.net/~amol/.

Does the cygwin port do something different to *not* cache .exe's? (I.e. 
does the internal API somehow not expose the names with .exe from cygwin 
mounts?)
