Under cygwin 1.5

when filename.exe exists

/usr/bin/install filename /tmp            creates /tmp/filename.exe
/usr/bin/cp      filename /tmp            creates /tmp/filename.exe
/usr/bin/install filename /tmp/filename   creates /tmp/filename.exe
/usr/bin/cp      filename /tmp/filename   creates /tmp/filename.exe

Under cygwin 1.7

when filename.exe exists

/usr/bin/install filename /tmp            creates /tmp/filename
/usr/bin/cp      filename /tmp            creates /tmp/filename
/usr/bin/install filename /tmp/filename   creates /tmp/filename
/usr/bin/cp      filename /tmp/filename   creates /tmp/filename

Is this the expected behaviour ?

Ciao
  Volker
