If matching by extension is acceptable, this is probably the easiest.

It does not work because the rule requires the filename for filetype
to be exactly '.mexw32', i.e. should start with a dot. The rule is
geared towards matching file types, not names.

What you want is avoid anchoring a dot to the beginning (^) of a name:

[ qr'\.mexw32$' => 0 ],
