File names in Cygwin


I am running Cygwin 1.1.4 under Win2K. In my settings I am
noticing that file names are really case insensitive. So, for example,

cat myfile.c > MyFile.C

gives a warning that the two files are identical, with bad results.

This is probably related with the fact that Windows itself has
files that are effectively case insensitive.
I was wondering if there is a workaround, because this creates problems
when porting applications to Cygwin.
I am using NTFS, and CYGWIN is  ntsec binary tty title
