Actually, Case-sensitive HFS+ has been available since 10.3 (Panther),  
to get such a volume you would need to select it from Disk Utility  
during the install process.  There is no conversion process other than  
reformatting.  I currently run 10.5 (and did so with 10.4 and 10.3) as  
Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+ with no problems.
