Emacs doesn't up-case the system-name, it uses the exact string we get
from the system API we use to get the machine name (GetComputerName).

Looking at src/w32.c it seems you are implementing (sys_)gethostname() which, if I understood, is also used on other *nix systems.

gethostname() seems the right routine because on MSYS2 shell I get:

$ env | grep -i foobar
HOSTNAME=FooBar
COMPUTERNAME=FOOBAR

or, if you prefer,

$ echo $COMPUTERNAME $HOSTNAME
FOOBAR FooBar

I wonder what are the "contraindications" in using gethostname() from https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms738527(v=vs.85).aspx

After all, if Start / Setting / Systems / Info shows the PC name in the right case, a way should exist to do the same in Emacs.

In any case this is only a little noise.


Thanks,
 Angelo.
