Hi,

Thanks Noam.
Yes, the case is handled for getenv. 
The problem seems to be with setenv.
The following is a possible fix.

diff --git a/lisp/env.el b/lisp/env.el
index 859f280802..c93be80e84 100644
--- a/lisp/env.el
+++ b/lisp/env.el

It looks like there is code for it in callproc.c:

static bool
getenv_internal_1 (const char *var, ptrdiff_t varlen, char **value,
           ptrdiff_t *valuelen, Lisp_Object env)
{
  for (; CONSP (env); env = XCDR (env))
    {
      Lisp_Object entry = XCAR (env);
      if (STRINGP (entry)
      && SBYTES (entry) >= varlen
#ifdef WINDOWSNT
      /* NT environment variables are case insensitive.  */
      && ! strnicmp (SSDATA (entry), var, varlen)
