No; it just means that I'd prefer to have the distribution maintainer
filter out those bugs before we have to read them, as many of them
tend to be Windows-specific.

Unfortunately, the problem is more subtle than that.  What is actually
needed is a "strcasecoll" routine, which compares file names in a
case-insensitive way in arbitrary locales.

For a similar case I've been thinking of using the patch described in
<http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2002-12/msg00079.html>.
However, given your discussion it seems that this patch isn't correct
either....
