Just to be clear, Mac OS X isn't case insensitive, certain file
systems are. HFS and HFS+ (the default) are case insensitive. You
could have other volumes mounted using case sensitive filesystems at
the same time (e.g. UFS, case sensitive HFS+, etc). A compile time
switch is not the answer since it would not work correctly on all
possible filesystems.
