I ran into a problem where cp -p doesn't automatically deal with .exe suffixes.
I remember this being discussed here a while ago, but despite searching the list
with its own search form and google, I can't find the thread. Can someone who
remembers more please refresh my memory on the status of the issue? (i.e. has
someone already got a partial patch, or should I patch it?)

Max.
