    After poking around a bit, I've got a work-around: In My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables, there is an entry for PATHEXT. This is the set of suffixes that windows will match up to a bare command name. By default, it contained all uppercase suffixes. I just added lowercase copied of each one, so that the final value looks like this:
    Code:
    .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.com;.exe;.bat;.cmd;.vbs;.vbe;.js;.jse;.wsf;.w
    That seems to fix it. Of course, to be really correct, you would have to past in copies for 'Com', 'cOm', etc. But for me, 'COM' and 'com' cover everything that I actually encounter.

    I'm pretty sure, though, that this will only work if your Mac partition is case-insensitive (which is the default).
