[gdal-dev] .exe extension missing for gdal-2.2.0 binaries

[Velagandula, Sravan Kumar]

Hello Even,

    I see that the value of ${host_os} is "mingw64" for gdal-2.20 and
"mingw32" for gdal-2.0

gdal-2.2

-------------------------
Host OS: 'mingw64'
-------------------------

gdal-2.0.3

-------------------------
Host OS: 'mingw32'
-------------------------

Thanks,
Sravan
