<para><envar>(no)upcaseenv</envar> - if set, Cygwin converts all
environment variables to all-uppercase, when a Cygwin process is started
from a non-Cygwin native Windows process. This is how it has been done
until Cygwin 1.5. If not set, Cygwin does not change the case of environment
variables, except for a restricted set to maintain minimal backward
compatibility and for correct handling of certain essential variables.
The current list of always uppercased variables is:</para>
