When you search the archives you find a few messages stating that windows environment variables get converted to upper case. There was even a patch by Ernie Coskrey discussing a new option controlling this behavior on cygwin-patches.
Can anyone point me to a message/webpage that explaines the reason for this conversion? Unfortunately I didn't find any explanation in the archives or the FAQ or the User's Guide.
I'm guessing here: Is the reason for this behavior that cygwin programs can use upper/lower/mixed case simultaneously (In bash: $ export a=1; export A=2; echo $a $A 1 2 ) and windows cmd.exe cannot?
