Comment (by vladimir_prus):

 Moritz,

 I agree that logic is somewhat strange. We should first compose a list of
 suffixes to try, and then use on both branches. The reason we have two
 branches, I think, is to avoid doing GLOB when a directory is explicitly
 specified. I am not sure whether ther performance hit of GLOB is worth
 this trouble.

 Are you interested in fixing this, or shall I try next time I get to
 windows?
