Looks good with a couple of minor issues (sorry).

The changes to reset the globbing case sensitivity should go right
before the call to main in dcrt0.cc.  In 1.1.5 the code which breaks apart
argv is not called for cygwin subprocesses so resetting ignore_case_glob
in build_argv is not a good idea.

So, if you could make that change and supply a ChangeLog entry for your
masterpiece, I'll incorporate it.  Also please include a statement telling
me that this is your work and that your employer has no claim to it.

Also, my preferences is to see diffs in '-u -p' format.  The '-p', in
particular, helps me understand what's going on a little more quickly.

I appreciate your efforts in doing this.  I think that this option will
make a lot of people happy.
