I think I found it! It has nothing to do with *reading* the files from
disk (as I thought). It is the generator when *writing* the files to
disk. You can easily test the following patch: Locate the file
tool\pylib\misc\filetool.py. Then change the lines:
def normalize(filename):
return os.path.normcase(os.path.normpath(filename))
to
def normalize(filename):
return os.path.normpath(filename)
This should do the trick :). Let me know if it works.

I believe it was a combination of factors. For one, our old tool chain
on Windows was based on Cygwin, which produced mixed case file names
alright. But when we switched to Python-only tools (with 0.8), it was
possible to run the generator with native Python implementations. Now
running *that* turned on a platform-dependend feature in Python that
would convert the file names to all-lower case.
Now this alone wouldn't have sufficed. It took the additional piece of
an application (a web server in your case) that was particular about
character case, so Tomcat would distinguish "qx.class.js" from
"qx.Class.js" (while most other Windows apps, including browsers, would
not).
So it was your combination of tools that brought up the issue - good one :).
