I'm not sure I understand: do you think we should keep the .exe or do
you think we should remove it?

As I already said, the DJGPP port was showing "make.exe" for years,
and it was never a problem.  I don't think we should change it now, as
it could break something that relies on this, e.g. in sub-make's, or
the value of the $MAKE variable.  I say, let's leave the .exe alone.

Why did you need this snippet?  The test for '/' or '\' was already
done above, so what case does this handle?
