We do not automatically append .exe, nor will we ever, I don't think. 
Windows has many executable types, including .com, .bat, .cmd, .pif. 
Picking .exe is totally arbitrary. Sure, for the daemons it's generally 
fine (though it is possible to have daemon wrappers on Windows too, 
which of course are .bat or .cmd files), but we use Create_Process() for 
user jobs as well.

We do check to make sure that the file you give us is a valid 
Win16/Win32 executable before we hand it off to the Windows' 
CreateProcess() (which incidentally handles malformed executables quite 
poorly), but we expect the full path of the executable, including the 
extension.
