Environment variables are *always* case-sensitive, even in plain DOS.  
However:

	- DOS and Windows 3.X/9X won't let you set lower-case variables 
	  from the command line (they automatically upcase the variable 
	  name);

	- NT *does* let you use lower-case letters, but DOS programs 
	  (including DJGPP) get a copy of the environment where all 
	  variables are upcased (otherwise Path and ComSpec would break a 
	  lot of DOS programs).

So I don't think this aspect matters in this case.
