Well, it would probably identify itself as a C++ compiler then. :-)  On Windows, I don't think there is any reason to rename it to uppercase.  In the worst case, you could just put #ifdef WINDOWS guards around it, which is rather ugly, but does the job.

If that is added, would it be OK to commit the original patch by Zhihao Yuan [1]?
