I feel I should strongly recommend to NOT set this option.

The AmigaOS file system is _defined_ to be case independent. Same for 
MS-DOS and OS9 native file systems.

The Unix file systems, however, are defined to recognize case. E.g., Makefile 
and makefile are two different files on Unix. The POSIX standard requires
it to stay that way, btw.... I guess this is only useful for debugging, or
if you do NEVER want to use that partition for data exchange with NetBSD.
