The requirement should still be there, but I think I have found another
solution...

Man newfs_hfs(8) documents a `-s' flag for creating case sensitive HFS+
partitions beginning with OS X 10.3.  The only gotcha is that I'm not quite
sure how to create a case sensitive HFS+ partition at install time.  It
looks like you'd have to boot off of external media, newfs your partition
and then install on your new shiny case sensitive HFS+ slice.

I'm planning on giving this a try if I can borrow a firewire disk from
someone.
