Right, but only if there *is* an extension.  An extensionless script (and
shell scripts are mostly so) will end up in go32_exec instead, where
nothing good will happen to it.

I should probably add some code to go32_exec that checks for "#!" 
signature and calls script_exec when appropriate.

Do we want to be able to invoke unstubbed v2 programs too?  (Right now, 
only v1 COFF files are invokable this way, as far as I can see.)  The 
easiest method to achieve this is by calling go32-v2.
