Maybe ... Cygwin is trying to act as closely as possible to Posix behavior as
it can when running under Windows.  AFAIK, Posix does not offer
case-insensitive filename matching for grep.  While it's more cumbersome,
depending on the filenames you desire to match against, you could do something
like:

grep your-regex $(find . -iname 'virtualenvironment.ini')

The -iname operator of find asks it to do a case-insensitive filename match.
See also its -ipath and -iregex operators.
