I've always wondered why gnulib doesn't simply do that by default for
all of its tests modules. I mean, you could get fancy and write a
module that does nothing but passing EXEEXT through TESTS_ENVIRONMENT
and let all compiled tests depend on that, but what's the point?
(Sure, just looking for files matching *.exe is probably safe in
practice as well.)
Just my two cents.
Cheers,
Ralf
