 No. If a map is recognised as a mask by `Rast__check_for_auto_masking()`,
 then `r.mask -r` should remove it.

 On Windows, remove("MASK") will remove a file named "MASK", "mask",
 "Mask", "MaSK" or any other variation (you can't have more than one of
 those in any given directory).

 Does `g.remove type=rast pattern=MASK` remove the file? If not, that's a
 bug in g.remove. Indeed, this appears to be the problem.

 Looking at source:grass/trunk/lib/gis/ls_filter.c#L151, regcomp() should
 probably be using REG_ICASE on Windows (and also on Unix if GISDBASE is on
 a case-insensitive filesystem, but that's easier said than done).

 IOW, this bug is a consequence of replacing g.remove with g.mremove; the
 former doesn't care about case, the latter does.
