Are you saying that the only difference is case? If so, no problem.
I vaguely remember that it could be much more than that (WinME), 
with gethostname reporting unexpected values from the registry
instead of the BIOS name. I can't test now.
Please don't include a uname change in the coming Cygwin release
before more testing.
