------- Additional Comments From wrowe@apache.org  2007-04-17 14:27 -------
Enhancements welcome.  POSIX provides no context to solve these issues,
platform-by-platform solutions are the only viable means to improve this.

Demoted to P5 as this is already handled in all non-POSIX ports such
as Win32/Netware/OS2.  POSIX filesystems are all case sensitive, where
a POSIX filesystem such as apple hfs or cygwin introduces case insensitivity,
the basic assumptions of POSIX are violated.  The real solution here seems
to be to extend POSIX to account for this variance in a manner than APR
could accommodate it.

But per-platform patches are welcome.
