Yes, I think that's a neater solution. Having a runtime conditional
avoids breaking Cygwin binaries that might not have .exe in progname,
too.

To be honest, I'm not sure whether the compiler/configure defines _WIN32
for cross compilation by default. I could easily find out, but to be
honest, I don't think it's worth it: you pretty much have to ensure it's
defined because there are many places in the source code it is used.
Using it here as well seems smart.

Cheers,

Ben.
