Suggestions for corrections to executable.el - use of PATHEXT |

I believe there is an error in the definition of executable-binary-suffixes
in the w32 part. The environment var PATHEXT is not taken into account and
the order of the default suffixes is incorrect as far as I can see. There is
also a suffix ".btm" I do not know about.
This error is present in Emacs 21.3 and I do not know if it has been
corrected in CVS. Below is my fix to this error:
- Lennart
;; The PATHEXT environment variable defines the list of file
;; extensions checked by Windows NT when searching for an executable
;; file. Like the PATH variable, semi-colons separate individual items
;; in the PATHEXT variable. The default value of PATHEXT is
;; .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD.
(defvar executable-binary-suffixes
(if (memq system-type '(ms-dos windows-nt))
(let ((pathext (getenv-internal "PATHEXT")))
(if (eq nil pathext)
'(".com" ".exe" ".bat" ".cmd")
(split-string pathext ";")))
'("")))
