There's no such thing, at least wrt. case; Windows is case
insensitive. Wine just uses lower case, and for the most part that's
also the C / Unix convention, although there are certainly exceptions.
Typically you'd just change your source (Ninja in this case) to
consistently use lower case, instead of creating symlinks.
