Subject: Re: [RFA/mingw32] environment variables are case-insensitive on win32

Even worse: 'set' would list the two variables, but if you do 'echo
%PATH%' or 'echo %Path%' you'll get the same value (the first one in
the list of environment variables, apparently):
c:\home\guitton\GIT\GDB\builds> set
[...]
PATH=C:\cygwin\bin
Path=C:\windows\system32
[...]
c:\home\guitton\GIT\GDB\builds> echo %PATH%
C:\cygwin\bin
c:\home\guitton\GIT\GDB\builds> echo %Path%
C:\cygwin\bin
My feeling is that all sort of strange things can happen if we do not
assume case-insensitivity in the context of mingw32, so we'd better
stick to it. What do you think?
