[PATCH] cmd: Allow starting native executables

[Fabian Maurer]

Note that this is obviously different from what windows cmd
does, but Wine has a different situation.
Running native binaries without 'start' is pretty useful, IMHO.

We check for a magic signature to avoid regressions in case
there is a file without the extension that's not a native
executable.
