I forgot to give a viable solution to the problem.  Use CVS's hooks to do a
case-insensitive compare for new filenames to make sure they're unique.  As for
the CVS subdirectories,you can have them be .CVS (or whatever suits your taste)
by editing config.h or cvs.h (I forget exactly which one).

That would be a really bad idea.  I use Cygwin executables on file systems that
can fully support upper- and lower-case filenames.

Well, that's a filesystem issue and is really beyond the scope of what I
was trying to do. Is it possible that cygwin's file access functions
should transparently munge these troublesome, illegal names -- aux, prn,
etc? Or is that a really really bad idea?
