plea for case-insensitive, but case preserving (was: Re: 45-fix-yacc2-test.patch)

[edward]

hi akim,

this is a plea to avoid using constructs like the "cp Makefile.am
Makefile.AM" below. this kills us cygwin/windows people, and i for one, very
much would like to keep automake, etc. working on window based platforms!

cheers,
edward
