Well, I totally forgot about %PATHEXT% in Windows. I see, adding '.' to this
variable makes 'ls' working too not only 'ls.'. So wine still can run linux
programs (that's good), however current situation is not windows %PATHEXT%
compatible at all - explicit extension typing executes linux program whether
this extension is on %PATHEXT% or not. 

Creating shell scripts for linux program is generally a good idea but only for
known and often used programs. Asking user to write a script for each new or
one time used program is an evil thing. Anyway, if wine can execute linux
scripts and programs with an extension, why it should not execute linux
programs without extension? No standard sets that empty extension should be
marked explicitly.
