In my case, it's not so much that the file system is case sensitive, but
that it is shared with OS's that treat it as case sensitive.  The samba
software running on our UNIX boxes can (and does) present the directories
as case preserving (and insensitive), but when those same directories are
accessed from UNIX systems, they ARE case sensitive.  So, I want any
filenames I mention for those directories to go through unchanged (no
tolower()/toupper() loops waved over them).

Since I have the source to all the relevant pieces, I was able to
accomplish just that (or at least enough of it to satisfy ME...not
necessarily a complete solution for someone who wants to support this in
some end product, like DJGPP v2).
