There's a Win32 function called GetVolumeInformation which returns various flags that describe the file system that contains the specified directory (case sensitive, case preserving, etc). I hacked up some code that I found on CodeProject (to save me the effort of figuring out the right DllImport syntax).
In my private build I changed FileSet.ScanDirectory to check file system case-sensitivity, and added a "case sensitive" parameter to IsPathIncluded.
