The .exe is a windows artifact (only really necessary for windows 95, 98, me) that is not relevant for unix users. If you refer to foo and foo does not exist but foo.exe exists, uwin maps this to foo.exe. Every UNIX name is mapped into a win32 name and this is part of the rules of the mapping function.
