Windows file names & case insensitive search

- Subject: Windows file names & case insensitive search
Grep is case sensitive with respect to Windows 2000 file names. This
causes a problem across various directories, e.g., -r.
I found a discussion back in '97 on this topic - no visible action
resulted. Has there been no decision to TOUPPER() filenames in the Windows
implementation, or has another work around been implemented that I'm not
seeing?
