Hi,

So if you are a case-insensitive filesystem, then normalization is sane.
Actually, no.  Even an case-challenged filesystem should keep the 
_original_ name around, if only for the exact same argument you used 
earlier: if the user chooses to capitalise some letters, but not others, 
it is not the filesystem's place to "correct" that.

Ciao,
