So how about adding `-DEXE_EXT=\"EXEEXT\"' to DEFS, and then testing
EXE_EXT in the sources?

Alternatively, we could modify openp to always accept an additional
parameter, which is an optional extension (or even a list of possible
extensions), and if it's non-empty, try those extensions in addition
to the original file name.  (That's what openp in Emacs does, btw.)
