I am really wondering, what the right case is on Windows

The Windows file system (NTFS) may be case-insensitive, but it
is still case-preserving. File names are written and stored in
the file system preserving the letters' case at all times. You
can even rename a file from lower-case to upper-case, and
Windows will always list the file as upper-case than.
While Microsoft played with a GetTrueName system call in a very
old system, there is no such procedure in current Windows
(stupidly irritating).
Actually there still is. A simple example program shows that
::GetLongPathName() has this effect, though admittedly it is not
explicitly documented as such. Here's my output from the program:
Adrian@ADRIAN ~/projects/realpath
$ ls
Makefile realpath.cc realpath.exe* realpathd.exe* winapi++.cc
winapi++.hh winapi++.o winapi++d.o
$ realpath REALPath.eXe makefile
D:\Local\msys\1.0\home\Adrian\projects\realpath\realpath.exe (realpath.exe)
D:\Local\msys\1.0\home\Adrian\projects\realpath\Makefile (Makefile)
