Yes, but the OS on a Mac warns you about that when you try to save
makefile, and it does find Makefile when you try to open makefile. This
will not work under Linux because we have a directory cache on the vfs
level which doesn't (and shouldn't) know about case insensitivity.

There are a number of mappings you can think of (see the existing HFS

ce
fork/finder info/data fork to anything from one to three Unix files.
