Good point.  To expand a bit on the above text:

To reduce side-effects, case-sensitive subdirs are *only* created with
the Cygwin installation directory.  Outside, on the rest of the system,
Cygwin won't do that and just rely on the standard case-sensitivity
settings per

itive

Which reminds me... I guess I have to tweak the documentation.
