Windows is "case preserving" which means that it does keep the proper
names, but file access is insensitive. This means that it's really
best to treat files as case sensitive and uses the proper names in
code too, otherwise you risk code breaking when you switch to a case
sensitive system...
(And BTW, this exact same issue comes up with certain languages that
try to hold onto case-insensitivity.)
