That's fourteen years without complains, still I cannot imagine any
cases where it would be a problem as people who would have faced this
problem but not reported it have likely just enforced the FS to handle
case-insensitivity for paths. Or they just relied on the default: on
Windows the default is to be case-insensitive, as much as OSX. So the
proposed patch handles things better with case-sensitive paths,
without really impacting users with case-insensive FS.

I see the point of not back-patching the change though.
