Hi!

There is a compatibility problem with Cygwin-make and the makefile
filename case.  Cygwin-make doesn't accept "MAKEFILE" (but "makefile",
"Makefile" or "GNUmakefile") which is treated the same as "makefile"
by (at least some) other LFN-aware tools, i.e. Info-ZIP's unzip and
DJGPP ls.

So if you call a makefile "makefile" and put it into a ZIP archive,
there is the possibility that it is unpacked as "MAKEFILE" and
displayed as "makefile" but Cygwin make doesn't find it.

It was great if you could fix that problem by making Cygwin make also
look for "MAKEFILE".

I'm sorry, I don't read the mailing list.  So please reply to me
directly.

And please excuse possible mistakes.  English is not my mother
language.

Frank
