Cygwin-1.7.7: mv appends .exe to directory if matching .exe exists

[David Mastronarde <mast at Colorado dot EDU>]

When there is a directory and an executable with the same name, mv adds .exe 
when renaming the directory:

% mkdir test2
% cd test2
% mkdir package-3.1.1
% touch package-3.1.1.exe
% mv package-3.1.1 package-3.1.2
% ls
package-3.1.1.exe  package-3.1.2.exe/

There is also a problem when there is an executable matching the name 
being moved to:

% mv package-3.1.2.exe package-3.1.2
% ls
package-3.1.1.exe  package-3.1.2/
% mv package-3.1.2 package-3.1.1
mv: cannot move `package-3.1.2' to `package-3.1.1': Not a directory

This happens with the latest snapshot of cygwin1.dll.
