But then my mixed case NT filenames would get knackered. I like having
mixed case on NT, I just done't want the tools to read more significance
into the case of the letters than the OS does.
I don't want to type *.[Cc] every time just to make sure. And before
anyone asks, this does happen, I get files from other peoples machines (who
don't use either UNIX or Cygwin) and can get back the wierdest file names,
when I send them the files back I want to give them exactly the same filename.
