That's the patch I meant to attach; there is a special case for
Cygwin in the run-time test, it just returns case-insensitive
inconditionally for this platform.
Now it is true that Windows is the only platform that I know that has
case-insensitive environment variables, and if even for Cygwin we have
to get back to case-insensitivity then a run-time test may be overkill.
I'd OK with any choice that we make about that.
