The default HFS+ file system on OS X is case preserving but case
insensitive similar to Windows. Since 10.4 it has been possible to
format a file system as HFS+, case sensitive, which would be one work
around. Personnally, I'd be reluctant to do that because
a) there may be apps that expect case insensitive and break otherwise
b) I think (and this is JUST MY OPINION, so let's not have yet
another case sensitivity war) that case preserving, case insensitive
is the right way for a file system to be, at least in English Locales.

I would suggest a different naming convention to get around your
problem. How about "small" and "large" or equivalent in your first
language?
