Actually UNIX systems don't care about file suffixes, so he can very
well generate *.exe files. The only necessary fix is to change
his 'runtests' shell script so that it invokes those files with
the .exe suffix. Also for the 'make hashlib' option he needs to stop
with compilation and not attempt to produce an executable.
