Yes, am aware that it isn't that simple. I can make that the default
and like I have a configuration directive for case sensitivity in file
systems:

  http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/ConfigurationDirectives#WSGICaseSensitivity

I can add one related to file system encoding. This would be similar
to how some other Apache modules allow overriding it. For example:

  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxyftpdircharset
