The .exe suffix is added if all of the below is true:
- The file is renamed via the rename(2) function.
- The name does not only change by case on a caseinsensitive mount.
- The file is a binary checked with the Win32 function GetBinaryType,
and the returned type is SCS_32BIT_BINARY or SCS_64BIT_BINARY.
- The source filename has none of the following suffixes:
.com
.dll
.exe
.scr
.sys
- The destination filename has none of the aforementioned suffixes.
