I dunno if it's any use to you chaps or not. Extract from native cygwin
build on recent CVS xc (approx 2 or 3 days old)...

make[4]: *** No rule to make target `lndir.exe.o', needed by
`lndir.exe'.

`lndir.exe._man'.

I've not built XFree before so can't determine the root cause.
Nevertheless, for the most part (bit different for lndir makefile) it
appears that the assignment to "PROGRAMS" already has '.exe' appended
then "PROGS_EXE" does it again.
