file name case sensitivity

Thanks for that.  As you predict, check_case can't undo the evil that is 
causing my problem in the first place.

My loathing goes in equal measures to Microsoft for failing after 20 
years to support case-sensitive file names, and whomever it was in the 
linux dev group who decided it would be a good idea to duplicate some 
files but only change the filename capitalisation...  bleughhh... the 
conspiracy theorist in me wonders if it was deliberate to kybosh those 
working under Windows... :O

Cheers,

John
