I guess automake is changing $(noinst_PROGRAMS) behind our back,
since the code above would work otherwise. Pretty gross, but that's
the kind of nasty meddling you have to accept if you want portability
to work (mostly) out of the box (almost) all of the time, I suppose.

Anyway, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll take care of
it momentarily, and test it on MinGW before posting this time ;)
