Yes, you're right and I'm wrong.  I used an old DOS unarchiver that
didn't know LFNs and so always named the file "MAKEFILE", independend
of wether the file was archived as "Makefile" or "makefile".  The most
recent MS-Windows port of my archiver names the file correctly.  I'm
sorry!

But the patch is still useful since it adds some kind of DOS
compatibility to Cygwin make.  ;-)
