hell.static

here's the cause of the failure:
automake (CVS HEAD) is making rules from bin_PROGRAMS = hell hell.static
hell.exe from hell
hell.static from hell.static

changing bin_PROGRAMS to hell_static fixes this - we get rules for
hell.exe
hell_static.exe

so I suspect there is a broken test for .exe in automake somewhere (ie
just checking for a . in the file component, not for .exe).

That change in the Makefile.am allows those two tests to pass. I'm
taking this experience onto the next tests ;]
