How embarrassing. I recalled fleetingly seeing something on case
sensitivity in the 1.7 user manual, and checked back. But only the
CYGWIN variable section. Seeing that it was restricted to globbing
behaviour, I missed

Many thanks for pointing it out. I was completely unaware that Windows
was capable of case sensitive file naming. I must admit that my

experience, are there any?
Of course, I will still try it anyway.
