In particular, how does it handle case-sensitivity when globbing for files under cygwin.
This question is related to another thread "Case-sensitive match for :e under
cygwin?". I believe vim/cygwin used to do case-sensitve filename globbing, but now
it's doing it case-insensitively and I'd like to get it to revert to the old behavior.

This is a Unix-like Vim for Cygwin, which requires POSIX paths (as opposed to
Dos-like paths) and needs the cygwin1.dll. I /think/ that such a Vim version
will do all of its file-globbing with the exception of ** by "subcontracting"
it to some Unix shell such as bash. I'm not 100% sure of that and I don't
remember where I think I saw it.
This leads me to a question: isn't there a setting in Cygwin bash to set
whether you want case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching and globbing on
the underlying vfat or NTFS filesystem?
Best regards,
Tony.
