On second thought, I don't think I understand the problem in this case
and why does moving conftest out of the way solves it: running both
foo and foo.exe should have produced the same effect in this case,
since they are both the same program.  Could you explain why you think
it fails?

(I also think you meant hello, not conftest.)

Also, I thought you wanted the extensionless program toi run at the
expense of the one with extension, no?  At least I think Tim and Mark
wanted that.  But you seem to say that running the extensionless
program is harmful in this case.
