Perhaps I should recall that  strieq is only different from streq if one
has defined HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS. The latter is not set by default in
the distributed config.h.w32. However, in win32 the `gmake' and the `GMAKE'
commands obviously refer to the same executable...

IMHO the question is not much what windows OS would be [non-]conformant to,
but rather if it is misleading or not to allow `echo' to be resolved as
an internal shell command, but then keep the possibility to issue an `ECHO'
command that will instead resolve to a non-shell `echo.exe', if one can be
found on the current PATH.
