case-insensitive globbing

[Daniel Schneider]

Maybe, but the win32 tcsh has other limitations. Anyway, it still
seems like a useful option to have in native unix tcsh, for various
situations. For example any data files copied from other machines
might have inconsistent cases. Cygwin users just happen to encounter
that more often.

Cygwin's cygpath tool seems to work well enough, and cmd.exe
subshells/bat files can do more windows things. I haven't really tried
the win32 tcsh, but for my purposes I think I'd rather take better
Unix behavior than the win32 features. Proper job control among other
things.
