I know where.  Actually, I'd prefer to keep the rm, if there is a 
mechanism to say "rm foo but NOT foo.exe".  Does the "rm -f foo." trick 
still work to specify "foo without any extension and I really mean it."

(I'd check, but I'm still using older cygwin kernel/older coreutils at 
the moment...)
