Subject: stub.exe

A wish for future versions of go32.exe:

It would be nice if one could be warned by stub.exe that no go32.exe
was found in path. Presently, if a stubbed program doesn't find
go32 in path, it exits silently and nothing happens. This can lead to
funny gotchas, when one is used to e.g. unix style file/shell utils like
mv and you do a mv go32.exe go32old.exe and subsequently want to mv newgo32.exe
to go32.exe. I know, this is a silly action, but just as a measure of
defense against human errors :-)
