duplicate *.exe commands

[Atom Smasher]

i'm coming from a *nix background, but i'm finding that cygwin makes 
things suck less on windows.

one of the things that really annoys me are the duplicate *.exe 
commands...
 	cat & cat.exe
 	awk & awk.exe
 	sed & sed.exe

what a mess, especially when i use auto-complete in my shell.

i'm curious, could it cause problems if i delete all "*.exe" files from my 
command hash? or should i first check that it's really a duplicate? ie;
   if i have "/path/to/foo" and "/path/to/foo.exe" then foo.exe goes away
   if i have "/path/to/bar.exe", but not "/path/to/bar", then bar.exe stays

it seems like the same list of things that get pruned either way, but for 
the sake of portability i'm wondering if there would be problems just 
getting rid of everything *.exe.

thanks...
