        Use shell variable manipulation, a la ${...%.exe}, rather than sed.
        Suggestions from Eric Blake.
 
+       init.sh: automatically accommodate programs with the .exe suffix
+       Automatically arrange for an invocation of "prog" to execute the
+       program named "prog$EXEEXT" (usually prog.exe).  Thus, all invocations
+       may use the simpler "prog", yet still work when built on a system
+       that requires specifying the added suffix.
+       Do this by constructing a function named "prog" that invokes
+       "prog.exe" for each .exe file in selected directories.
+       * tests/init.sh (find_exe_basenames_): New function.
+       (create_exe_shim_functions_): New function.
+       (path_prepend_): Use it.
+
        maint.mk: mark syntax-check sc_*.m rules as .PHONY
        * top/maint.mk ($(syntax-check-rules)): Add .PHONY, so that
        "make -t syntax-check" doesn't create a ton of sc_*.m files.
