OK, thanks for the explanation.   Here, we're going from Windows binary 
(the JDK running jtreg) to WSL, and while jtreg is typically invoked by 
script (implying WSL or Cygwin) it is not required to be so, so I guess 
we could theoretically see any of the variants of "path", "Path", "PATH" 
etc, Is that right?
