Feature request: Add suffix option to vm-locate-executable-file
When using vm/emacs under Windows, I find that a lot of binary executables do not get automagically set since the executable files end in ".exe" -- Note I don't use cygwin Emacs but rather ntEmacs.
Specifically, vm-locate-
Note that locate-file (which is called by vm-locate-
Currently, mv vm startup code tests if I am on a Windows machine and if so then manually sets the binary location for a whole slew of executables referenced by VM (e.g., base64-decode, base64-encode, qp-decode, qp-encode, iconvert, etc.)
It would be nice to add to vm-locate executables-file the ability to also search an (optional) list of suffixes.
Specifically, one could
1. Add an optional argument 'suffixes' to vm-locate-
2. Create a variable vm-executable-
The logic for vm-locate-
a] If SUFFIXES is nil and vm-executable-
b] If SUFFIXES is nil, but vm-executable-
c] Iff SUFFIXES is non-nil, then pass SUFFIXES to vm-executable-
Any interest in adding such functionality to the code?
Thanks
