In Windows, executables might be run based on the name sans extension, not just the full name. Because emerge.bat and emerge.py share the same base name, they can be confused with one another on windows if PATHEXT is configured appropriately. emerge would work on all systems if things had different names even if extensions are ignored, such as if emerge.py were renamed to _emerge.py. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put .PY before .BAT in PATHEXT 2. follow build instructions using "emerge qt" command Actual Results: emerge fails with the --help output and an empty error message. Expected Results: Should have emerge'd qt.

I would just close the bug, I don't remember anything about this, and it's been five years, so who cares?
