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?
