Hi,

you can name unix executables as you like. In unix only the
exectutable attribute determine what to to with the file.

So, you can name your compiled binary executable a.out,
a.exe or a

And someone decide to name all Import/Export MathLink binaries
on all system filetype.exe

Ask the linker for the format of your XML.exe an you will see it is in
ELF
format and *not* a Windows binary.
