Originally, the distribution did not contain both unix and windows files (there are 2 different distributions in 2.x), but given we now have a single distribution containing both files, it seems to me a bit more homogeneous to have ".bat" for windows batches and ".sh" for unix scripts. So I'm *slightly* inclined to rename those, but that's not really a big problem to me. If it can help some users, why not ....
Jean-Baptiste, do you see any problem with renaming those files apart from the fact that it's not really necessary on unix (so I do agree that it's not a requirement).
