Subject: Upper/lower case filenames.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Having just tried Cygwin, I notice that 8.3 filenames which are taken to
be lower case under Linux are taken as upper case under Cygwin. This
means that scripts such as "cp *.cpp ..." and makefiles don't work
unless edited. Is there any reason for this design choice?
