Why reinvent the wheel?  In v2.0, just saying ``gcc -o test.exe test.c''
will leave you with a .exe file and nothing else.  (The lib/specs file
tells gcc to do it.) The reason to still have ``-o test'' produce both
`test.exe' *and* `test' is for those Unix-born Makefiles which expect a
file named `test' to be produced, and won't work correctly if it ain't. 
But in those cases, your solution won't work either.
