That makes sense.  I'm going to tweak the postinstall script accordingly.

While I'm at it, I found that the default %Path% variable does not use
the right case for the Windows and Windows/system32 paths on some
versions of Windows.  The result is that tools like Window's ping are
not found when case sensitivity is switched on, unless you tweak the
system %Path% variable to us the right case throughout.

So, here's the question: 

Shall the script make the cygdrive prefix a posix=0 (aka case-insensitve)
mount by default?
