Hello Han and Ethan

Thank you for your helpful comments.

The above was successful to remove  $(EXEEXT) from gnuplot-tikz.lua$(EXEEXT).

However

make
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `gnuplot-tikz.lua', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.
make[3]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/d/usr/Tatsu/cyghome-1.7/gnuplotcvs/gnuplot/src'
make[2]: [all-recursive] Error 1 (ignored)

make install-strip
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `gnuplot-tikz.lua', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.

Perhaps I have to tweak the below.

At the moment I manually copy and strip gnuplot.exe and gnuplot_x11.exe which have not been installed
by make install-strip from the side effect of the error above.

I temporarily  put the script 'gnuplot-tikz.lua' to  /usr/local/libexec/gnuplot/4.5/.
I will wait for your patch.
