Re: environment variable name converted to upper case

To repeat, translating environment variables to uppercase is something
that *cygwin* does.  Check out environ.cc for more information.

Could the uppercasing be limited to certain environment variables? Particularly, only PATH, since that's common to both NT and Posix shells, but that NT allows in any case while Posix shells expect in uppercase?
