What is the "bash exec-finding code"?  I added this little hack to
search a list of extensions:

#ifdef DJGPP
      // If we didn't find the original command, try looking for a
      // version with ".exe", ".com", or ".bat" tacked on the end.
      if (!result) {
        for (indx = 0; indx < sizeof(exts) / sizeof(const char *);
indx++) {
          result = find_alt_command_in_path(cmd, exts[indx],
path_list, old_index, &path_index);
          if (result) break;
          }
        }
#endif

I did this so that people could add other extensions later (".pl",
".cmd", etc.).   But if there's and easier way, let me know...

Thanks,
David
