Ok, good point.  Perhaps the documentation should be updated to clarify
that Mac OS is treated as Unix even though a default Mac OS X
installation will have a case-insensitive file system.  Wouldn't it be
possible for a Windows machine to have a case-sensitive file system
similarly?  Or is it more "built-in" that the file system on a Windows
box will be case-insensitive?
