Chris, I suppose there's another bet between you and Corinna floaing
around in the cygwin-developers land somewhere, but I'll bite.

No need to patch vim.  This is *exactly* the kind of situation where
check_case:strict is useful.  With CYGWIN=check_case:strict, vim won't
even edit the file "x.sh" if the file is actually named "X.sh".
Incidentally, "check_case:adjust" might also help.
