I did, yes. I was trying to get my head around it and the design a year or so ago and decided to document it as I could find nothing substantive available on the Web. At the time, I noticed that Corinna special cased Windows 2000 to keep reading obcaseinsensitive in the patch that was otherwise committed to test for the actual state of case sensitivity instead: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2012-q1/msg00115.html It is a mess and pretty frustrating! You have to be very careful about the assumptions that you make in your code.
