Could we please have a description of what you think you everybody
agrees to, before you start coding?  There were lots of opinions and
suggestions in this thread, and I'm not sure to what we all agreed...

As an example, everybody seemed to be talking about shell scripts
without extensions, but no one mentioned the other extensionless case:
the raw COFF image.  Please note that in general we would like to
avoid running the raw image when there's a .exe program in the same
place, because the raw image is run via go32-v2.
