Yes, that's always the point. All programs would break, that are only
build against the .exe suffix. Like mine after patching it. :-)
Don't know if Cygwin has a testing state to fix those side-effects

The listing with .exe extensions also has an informative value for the
human reader of the list, that would be lost.
