Both should work: this is DOS/Windows, where file names are 
case-insensitive.

DJGPP supports any character device installed on the system.  COM1, LPT1, 
AUX, etc. are standard DOS devices, but there could be others; it's 
impossible to list them all.  For the list of standard DOS devices, look 
in any good book about DOS.

DJGPP sets things up so that /dev/foo and foo wind up calling the same 
device driver, so you could use both.

I don't understand the question, sorry.  What do you mean by ``map new 
devices'', exactly?  Can you tell the details?

Bash has variables as well as aliases.
