I'm ok with the patch itself: if we download an executable it's a good 
thing to give it a .exe extension to give a hint so the user who later 
wonders what this file is.

However CreateProcess() should really not care about the file extension. 
Testing on Windows 2003ES shows that ren foo.exe foo, 
CreateProcess("foo") works just fine.
