I don't know what you're asking for. Cygwin does provide case sensitive
environment variables.

In a cmd.exe window:

	C:\>set env_var=lowercase
	C:\>set
	[...]
	env_var=lowercase
	[...]
	C:\>set ENV_VAR=UPPERCASE
	C:\>set
	[...]
	env_var=UPPERCASE
	[...]
	C:\>cygwin
	$ set | grep -i env_var
	ENV_VAR=UPPERCASE
	$ logout
	C:\cygwin\bin>exit

And in cygwin's bash:
	$ env_var=lowercase
	$ ENV_VAR=UPPERCASE
	$ set | grep -i env_var
	ENV_VAR=UPPERCASE
	env_var=lowercase
	$ bash
	$ set | grep -i env_var
	$ exit
	$ export env_var ENV_VAR
	$ bash
	$ set | grep -i env_var
	ENV_VAR=UPPERCASE
	env_var=lowercase
	$ exit
	$ cmd.exe
	Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

	C:\>set
	[...]
	ENV_VAR=UPPERCASE
	[...]
	env_var=lowercase
	[...]

As cfg said: "Don't start the program from a non cygwin program"
