You can't, not without rebuilding Make from sources (after defining
HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS in config.h.W32).  I don't know how many
users use this option on Windows (I don't), so I cannot say if Make is
reliable with it.

Care to tell why you need this?  Do you _really_ have *.CPP files, or
was that just an example?  If the problem is with file-name
extensions, you could take care of it by defining suitable rules for
both %.cpp and %.CPP etc.
