Tcl/tk doesn't seem to append .exe to symlinks in Cygwin

["Thrall, Bryan" <bryan dot thrall at flightsafety dot com>]

I understand this is the place to report problems with Cygwin's tcltk
package?

It looks like the wish.exe provided by tcltk doesn't properly handle
symbolic links to executables. A simple test case:

>>>>>>>>>>>
$ ls -l foo.exe wishtest
lrwxrwxrwx  1 thrall FSUsers  11 Aug 29 18:31 foo.exe -> /bin/ls.exe
-rwxr-xr-x  1 thrall FSUsers 148 Aug 29 18:33 wishtest

$ cat wishtest        
#!/usr/bin/wish

set B [open "|foo 2>@stdout" r+]
set I [gets $B ]

frame .fr
label .fr.head -text "$I"
grid config .fr.head
pack .fr

close $B
<<<<<<<<<<<<<

When I run wishtest, I expect opening the pipe to find foo in the
current directory, but instead I get an error popup ("couldn't open
"foo": no such file or directory"). If you replace foo with foo.exe,
everything works fine.

From my cygcheck output (let me know if you need the whole thing):
tcltk                   20060202-1
cygwin                  1.5.18-1
