On my system dozens of executables do have a '.' near the end of their 
names, either representing a version (e.g. perl5.10.0.exe, 
python2.5.exe), or OCaml native code (*.opt.exe), or for other reasons 
(e.g. *.bin.exe where the program is launched via a script).  How does 
this change affect building/installing them?
