environment variable name converted to upper case

[Koduru, Seshasai]

Hi,

An environment variable name defined in windows environment with
lowercase is converted to uppercase by cygwin environment. Following is
the test case:

---------start----------
C:\>set lowercase=Windows Variable

C:\>echo %lowercase%
Windows Variable

C:\>which env
/usr/bin/env

C:\>env | grep -i lowercase
LOWERCASE=Windows Variable
---------end----------

Because of this behavior the shell scripts are not recognizing
$lowercase variable. Is this the regular expected behavior? Is there any
way to get the case preserved?

Thanks,
Seshasai
