Has anyone thought further about this? I would find this useful for emacs[*]. I've taken a quick look at the pathconf code, and it looks like it wouldn't be difficult to add this. I could try to provide a patch if the powers that be would be receptive./me marks herself as being receptive
Should the getconf utility be patched to support the new _PC_CASE_INSENSITIVE flag? I'm asking because getconf doesn't currently support the Cygwin-only flags _PC_POSIX_PERMISSIONS and _PC_POSIX_SECURITY. This seems to contradict the documentation at https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/getconf.html:
"...getconf serves as a wrapper for the pathconf function, supporting the symbolic constants defined in the unistd.h header, without the _PC_ prefix."
If the omission of _PC_POSIX_PERMISSIONS and _PC_POSIX_SECURITY was just an oversight, I can add support for them along with my patch.
