Are you actually _sure_ you did it that way and not renamed it later?
Or that you manually created the CygWin directory but installed it
using setup and let it using it's default "C:\cygwin" entry in the
dialog box?

The problem here is: There's no such thing in setup's source which
would lower case the users input before handling it over to the
code which creates the directories and mount points...
