I apologize for posting a misleading information.  It turns out that
you cannot make Emacs be case-sensitive when looking for Info nodes,
since it turns on the case-insensitive flag internally inside its Info
reader code.

Programs which generate Texinfo files should make sure no two nodes
have names that are identical except for the letter-case.
