This patch on its own is probably ok. What I worry about is that if I
merge this, I'll then get all the follow ups which for example force
lower or upper case everywhere, remove ":" characters from all
filenames (including sstate?), remove various other characters and so
on.

We don't run on windows filesystems and we're not likely ever to be
able to.

So what are we aiming for here?

Cheers,

Richard
