Yup, I have considered it too. But if somebody ever has such a path, he 
deserves to lose anyway...

Yes, I noticed something like that.

Thanks, now I have almost all-dancing, all-singing bash, if we don't 
consider Perl's configure ;)

1) It still tries .com before extensionless - so at first it tries 
configure.com VMS.

2) When move out of way configure.com, it crashes later on:
