Why?
Because Makefile is not the same as makefile? I've been burned by that,
although that might be an argument for case insensitivity.
Databases are another matter. SQL Server by default is case insensitive
while DB2 is case sensitive. We always uppercased everything going into
DB2 so we could find it again rather than messing around at runtime. SQL
Sever is easier to deal with.
