This will not happen.  In the Linux kernel, there were exactly such cases, 
where the filenames differed only in case.

Also, some projects I checked out (notably Perl) assume that Makefile is 
different from makefile.

So I think this will always be something Windows users would wish to 
impose onto others, while Linux users would always refuse.
