Regression in .exe extension handling

- Subject: Regression in .exe extension handling
It is not unusual for mono packages to create a wrapper script (to be
installed in PATH) in the same directory as an assembly (which has .exe
suffix and is installed out of PATH), which uncovered a regression using
the 20100622 snapshot:
echo script > foo
echo executable > foo.exe
mkdir bar
install foo bar/foo
ls bar
cat bar/foo
You will see that bar/foo.exe is created but it's really the 'script'
foo.
