I have coreutils 7.0-2 and "mv" seems to work correctly for me,
however I see that both rsync and rdiff-backup add the .exe suffix
when copying an executable file to a FAT filesystem (for instance,
when backing up on my USB drive).

This is not a big deal for most cygwin programs (except "diff -r" and
"cygpath -d"), they all usually accept "bla.exe" as equivalent of
"bla", but win32 clients would definitely have problems.
