I like having mixed case on NT, I just done't want the tools to read more significance into the case of the letters than the OS does. I don't want to type *.[Cc] every time just to make sure. And before anyone asks, this does happen, I get files from other peoples machines (who don't use either UNIX or Cygwin) and can get back the wierdest file names, when I send them the files back I want to give them exactly the same filename.
