Comment:

 Lack of {{{.exe}}} isn't an issue - you definitely can run binaries
 without an explicit extension.

 Added a new compatibility wrapper for sys/wait.h (so we can manage the
 WEXITSTATUS replacement in a a single place) in r13936, and patched
 api_compact.cc in r13937.

 I reused the XAPIAN_BIN_PATH define we already had rather than duplicating
 that knowledge here, and I also redirected stderr to nul (with {{{2>nul}}}
 which I believe is the right rune).  Can you test current trunk?

 Needs backporting, so updating milestone.
