New handling of .exe extension might break install

[Christian Franke]

The handling of .exe extension apparently changed from 1.5 to 1.7.
The new handling might break 'make install' targets which do not use 
$(EXEEXT).
(It actually does for grub-1.97)

Testcase:

$ cygcheck -f /bin/cygwin1.dll /bin/install.exe
coreutils-6.10-2
cygwin-1.5.25-15

$ mkdir inst1 inst2

$ install /bin/echo inst1

$ install -s /bin/echo inst2

$ ls -1 inst?/*
inst1/echo.exe
inst2/echo.exe


$ cygcheck -f /bin/cygwin1.dll /bin/install.exe
coreutils-7.0-2
cygwin-1.7.1-1

$ mkdir inst1 inst2

$ install /bin/echo inst1

$ install -s /bin/echo inst2

$ ls -1 inst?/*
inst1/echo
inst2/echo.exe
