I still think searching for libs case-insensitively on cygwin is wrong -
the philosophy of cygwin is to be a Linux emulation, where case matters;
and even though you can't have dual case files without a managed mount, it
just seems like perpetuating problems if cygwin allows a library with the
wrong spelling.  For mingw, on the other hand, the goal is indeed to be as
accomodating to Windows as possible, so having libtool ignore case in
library searches on mingw seems like it might be acceptable (although I
have not reviewed your patch for its technical merits).
