It handles the way executables are recognized.  There's a mechanism in
Cygwin, trying to find out whether a file is exacutable or not, regardless
of permission settings (e.g. on FAT filesystems).  Having a .exe suffix
is one of them.  -X treats all files as executable, -E treats no file as
executable.  It speeds up processing of large /bin dirs etc.
