[h-e-w] suggestion: ignore case in find-name-dired, on Windows

[Eric Hanchrow]

I've found that this little hack makes my life better on Windows
(using the Cygwin "find"), since the file system is case-insensitive,
and I never remember the precise spelling of a file's name.
Unfortunately, this hack isn't a complete solution for all similar
problems, since there are a number of places in the code that
hard-code the "-name" argument.  But this works for me.
