No, that's precisely why I consider it bogus, even though I haven't
used Windows in years.  The list is implicit in a series of if ... else
if ... clauses in the function.

On the other hand, since I haven't been using Windows, I'm unsure
whether there's a way to register an extension as executable, and how
XEmacs could determine that at runtime.  So I need somebody who knows
about that kind of thing to look at it.
