I just couldn't let this one sit, so I stayed up late
working on it. Sure enough, you can set the current
directory in a case-sensitive fashion. I verified that
GetCurrentDirectory() responds to the change (Cygwin's
getcwd() currently doesn't, of course).

You don't actually use NtSetInformationProcess()--you
just need to get at the PEB somehow (you could use
NtQueryInformationProcess(), but NtCurrentTeb()->Peb
is faster). Peb->FastPebLockRoutine(Peb->FastPebLock)
locks the structure, then you can directly change
Peb->ProcessParameters->CurrentDirectoryHandle and
Peb->ProcessParameters->CurrentDirectoryName.
