So do all Windows filesystems, Python builds and runs fine on all flavors of
Windows, and has since '91.  So, like I said, I have no idea what the new
problem may be with OSX.  For every pair of distinct files X and Y in the
distribution, if X and Y are in the same directory, the names of X and Y
differ by more than just case.  Or, if that's not true, it's a Unix(tm) bug
that doesn't affect Windows <wink>.
