I think the source of the issue is how cygwin's
version of stat performs exe magic. So if file exists
it'll get return information about file, if file
doesn't exist but file.exe does exist, stat returns
information about file.exe.

If I recall correctly most things that NEED to work
around this have been updated to use something other
then stat to see if the object exists.

I don't think you'll run into the problem often
though. I think that the directory would normally
always be exported first.

Sorry, I couldn't be more helpful.
