I agree.  I've made the change and attached new patches.

Source to the program I used to test is attached.

So, for those of you just joining us, adding "glob" to the CYGWIN
environment variable enables case-sensitive globbing for arguments passed on
the command line when the program is called from a Windows shell.  With the
patches, "glob:ignorecase" would make the globbing case-insensitive.
