What I don't like about this is that it isn't what we want in the
future.  If autoconf is going to require EXEEXT, then we should always
have program targets use it.  This means the user should use it too.

Perhaps the best thing to do is allow this special case now, but emit
a warning saying that it is a deprecated use.

Good idea.  I think I'll do this.
