Well just to show that this discussion isn't completely one sided :-) I'd
have to say that I'm quite in favour of case-insensitive file name completion.

Having moved to NT quite a while ago, I've got used to the case-ignorance
of the file system and as I use the cygwin tools to enhance NT rather than
simply mimic UNIX I have absolutely no problem if there are features here
that are only really going to be of interest under NT.

Perhaps this behaviour could be dependant upon the value of a shell
variable or setting?
