Hmm... I thought it's hard, but it isn't, in fact. We'd specify everything
for Win32/gcc. The framework can adjust extensions automatically.

We cannot specify everything for Linux/gcc because executable files has
no extension there, and we cannot tell them from other files without
extension.

How does it look?
