Case insensitivity


I'm in the process of porting my CAE tool (hdlmaker) to Cygwin and I've
run into a problem with case sensitivity, or to be precise the lack of
case sensitivity in the file system. I have a number of files that are
paired as upper and lower case versions, i.e. FD.v and fd.v. In the Unix
world this is no problem but in the Cygwin environment the files
conflict. I noticed the problem when doing a CVS checkout. I'm aware
that NTFS is not case sensitive, does Cygwin provide a layer that
provides case sensitivity or do I have to go through the huge effort of
converting my library to make it case independent.
