IIUC, r.watershed/seg/Makefile and r.watershed/ram/Makefile need to have
$(EXE) added to the end of the support binaries so they'll get .exe
extensions. (I'm not sure where/how in the Makefile to do this)


bug: ram.exe and seg.exe are getting installed in both $GISBASE/etc/ and
$GISBASE/etc/water/. I'm not sure why, is it because "default: etc" ?
The version in water/ is what is called.

these should be checked for the same missing $(EXE):

cd $GISBASE/etc
for PGM in `find . -perm +3 -type f | grep -v '\.tcl$'` ; do
  file "$PGM" | grep ELF | cut -f1 -d:
done

# some verified ones removed

./frame.create
./frame.select
./frame.dumper
./frame.list

./mon.status
./mon.stop
./mon.which
./lister/cell

./support/modhead
./current_time_s_ms

Any more thoughts on a hierarchy for the $GISBASE/etc/ dir?
To help with multi-platform packaging it would be nice to segregate
scripts and tcl from binaries, but as far as GRASS is concerned a
support program is a support program regardless of what language was
used to write it. 

Compromise:
If we have nviz/, startup/, and gui/ dirs [tcl] then ELF binaries could
be put in system/ (lock, run, mon.*. frame.*), and modules/ (water/, ..)
