If I do this change should I fixup the commit that introduced EXE_EXTENSION or commit on top of HEAD? Please tell. I will do the changes immediately and submit another PATCH series. One more thing, there is an issue with the scripts' permissions when run in Linux. They don't have execute permissions. Since the main focus of the CMake build is to help windows devs, should I defer this modification until a later time, or should I do them immediately. The changes will involve adding a line of code to each of the script varieties(sh,perl,python) so 3 more lines of extra code. Thank You, Sibi Siddharthan > Thanks.
