Hopefully not.  If a binary from an executable program is placed at 
the path "C:\cygwin\bin\last" (with no .exe extension) does 
LoadLibrary() load it?

Since we are on the subject, it is good to make sure that Windows 
really is in good shape security-wise.

Windows paranoia about downloaded files might go away if the file 
extension is missing so it is good to know if it will still attempt to 
load an exectuable or DLL which has its file extension missing.
