Nono -- how do you give Windows, which is case insensitive, access to a
case-sensitive filesystem?  For instance, how do you get a Windows-based

if it has filenames that are identical except for case?

Or is compatibility not an issue?

This was awhile ago, and I forget a lot of the context, but I'm
re-reading this and I agree with myself.
