You have to modify the source. findcmd.c:executable_file and

Ran across this one today and tried it again. I don't
know why, but when it first came out, I gave it a try to accomplish
similar, but had no luck. Now it's working as I _think_ it's
supposed to be (?).
FIGNORE=".dll;.DLL"
(assuming default value of 'shopt force_fignore' is enabled).
It seems to eliminate a large amount of chaff on Windows.
Am I correct in my interpretation that this is by design?
(ob.sillyness) Of course to get the accurate behavior, one could try
to add every combination of 1, 2 and 3 letters to FIGNORE...*cough*...
(presuming it wouldn't overflow the environment tables).
