ntfs ObCaseInsensitive & cygwin?

[Morgan Read <mstuff at read dot org dot nz>]

Hi Folks

Lots of refs to the case sensitivity nightmare in archives, but couldn't
find any to ntfs' obcaseinsensitive registry option
(HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel\
dword:ObCaseInsensitive see here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817921)

So, does anyone know:
* If this provides case sensitivity to cygwin (as it seems to to
SFU/Interix)?
* If this works on XP Home?...
* If it's necessary to install SFU/Interix to give it effect?
* If it applies to the whole file system or just the Interix "Subsystem"
(if that's a file system thing)?
* If there's a way to query the system to see if it "thinks" it's
working?...

Thanks,
Morgan.
