This works very nicely, with one exception.
If I'm trying to complete an executable in the current directory, e.g.
% setu<TAB>
it will give me neither "setup", nor "setup.exe". This is logical, because
the special .exe handling is only for the PATH hash.
Would you know a workaround for that?
Thanks,
- Michael
(Wouldn't it be nice if Cygwin did this foo.exe -> foo handling
automagically for us?)
