If "check_case:strict" is in effect, the case translation will fail anyway. And if it's not in effect, then the directory existence check will succeed as well. So the translation is redundant. But it doesn't hurt (maybe slows the script down a bit), and in a post-install script performance is not an issue, so let's leave it in. However, this reminds me - we had to turn off "check_case:strict" for the duration of the script for it to work at all with non-standard file and directory cases! Something like CYGWIN="$CYGWIN check_case:relaxed"; export CYGWIN I meant to do this one, but completely forgot. New version attached.
