Hi, Sorry if this has been already been discussed, the only reference I could find was a "In scripts suddenly must use perl.exe rather than perl" thread.
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#id4729857 states the following: "If a shell script myprog and a program myprog.exe coexist in a directory, the program has precedence and is selected for execution of myprog." This was the case in my previous installation (cygwin 1.5.19-4) but the opposite seems to be the case in the latest cygwin dll (1.5.20-1). It's causing a lot of problem for me since for many commands I have an exe for windows and a shell wrapper for *nix. The change log for 1.5.20-1 mentions changes .exe handling. Is this intended behaviour?
