    Cygwin: __wscollate_range_cmp: workaround wcscoll's case-insensitivity
    
    Most locales using latin characters ignore case while sorting.
    This is what wcscoll does (correctly so).  However, there's an
    internal order of collating sequences compared to the base
    character, which is case-sensitive, at least in GLibc.
    
    There's no way to express this in Windows, because CompareString
    and LCMapString *always* use case-insensitivity in those locales,
    even if none of the *IGNORECASE sorting flags are used.
    
    We want to follow glibc's behaviour more closely, so we add an
    extra check for the case and make sure upper and lower cased
    letters don't comapre as identical.
