$(EXEEXT) not being applied in conditional compilation?

[Jeff Bailey]

For this, I'm refering to the instructions provided at:

http://www.gnu.org/manual/automake/html_chapter/automake_9.html#SEC27

It's the "Linking the Program" section of "Building Programs and
Libraries".

I'm trying to prep for a release of GNU Inetutils, and I want to make
sure that we compile for i386-pc-cygwin.

We have this construct (in just about every directory):

bin_PROGRAMS = @BUILD_TELNET@

EXTRA_PROGRAMS = telnet

telnet_SOURCES = authenc.c commands.c main.c network.c ring.c sys_bsd.c \
        telnet.c terminal.c tn3270.c utilities.c

Right now we design @BUILD_TELNET@ to be "telnet", but it appears to
need to be telnet$(exeext) - Should this section mention that, or is
our configure code triggering a bug?

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
