It is fixed on all operating systems where APR implements it's 'truename'
handling for converting from 'aNYcASE' to 'TrueCase'. But this is currently
only implemented on Windows and some tests still fail on OS/X.
Some problems are fixed on OS/x by moving to SHA1 based pristines, but the
APR api fix is needed to detect naming collisions properly.
