OTOH, CompareString has a couple of flags to control its behaviour, see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd317761%28v=3Dvs.=
85%29.aspx

Right now Cygwin calls CompareStringW with dwCmpFlags set to 0, but there
are flags like NORM_IGNORENONSPACE, NORM_IGNORESYMBOLS.  I'm open to a
discussion how to change the settings to more closely resemble the rules
on Linux.

E.g.  wcscoll simply calls wcscmp rather than CompareStringW for the
C/POSIX locale anyway.  So, would it makes sense to set the flags to
NORM_IGNORESYMBOLS in other locales?
