Normalized directory name

[Tim McDaniel <tmcd at panix dot com>]

I have access to a Windows 2003 system.  Cygwin is running
case-insensitive, so while the directory name is E:\CM\BuildUtil,
I can type
    cd /cm/buildutil
and get there (E:\CM is mounted on /cm).  And if I do that particular
cd, then pwd, /bin/pwd, and "echo $PWD" all say "/cm/buildutil".

For tidiness, if nothing else, I'd like to get the normalized form, in
much the same way how, in CMD, I can do
    E:\>cd cm\buildutil
and have the prompt become
    E:\CM\BuildUtil>
Emacs figures it out too.

I Googled for the answer a while back, and I think the answer was "no
way", but I was wondering whether the answer was correct, or whether
someone has come up with a program or script to do better.
