rename foo Foo

rename is provided by util-linux

This does not work for me. From my cygwin/bash prompt:

Strix 516> type rename
rename is hashed (/usr/bin/rename)
Strix 508> touch xxx
Strix 509> rename xxx Xxx
Strix 513> ls x*
xxx

At this point, I opened up a Windows Explorer pane to confirm that the
file is still named xxx, not Xxx.

My output from cygcheck -svr is attached.
