This test will report `' on Cygwin caused by some Cygwin magic. Even though
the file is named `conftest.exe', doing `ls conftest' will return `conftest',
and doing `test -f conftest' will return true. Doing a plain `ls' will not
return that virtual file, though. You therefore need to "test for" (read: ls)
the .exe extension first.
