I'm not sure what you mean by "a configure switch".  As far as I know
(and I'm no expert since I don't build/use the Windows port) you don't
run configure (which is a POSIX shell script) on Windows; instead you
rename the appropriate config.h* file.  So, a configure switch wouldn't
help.



I'm building from the mingw patched version of make, and I'm building it in Cygwin (obviously a POSIX environment), using GCC. I'm not building using MS's compilers as recommended in that particular README. So, in this case, having a configure switch would be helpful, for example:
-----------------------------------------------
CC="gcc -mno-cygwin"
../$archivedir/configure \
--prefix=$installdir \
--host=mingw32 \
--build=mingw32 \
--with-case-insensitive-fs
2>&1 | tee make-configure.log


make all install 2>&1 | tee make-make.log
-----------------------------------------------

And the "--with-case-insensitive-fs" switch would automatically #define HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS in config.h.
