Instead of changing the filename to support mixed-case mounts, would it
be possible to simply tell NT to use POSIX semantics when opening files?
It seems to me that this would be a much better solution. It would be
much more transparent to non-Unix applications this way.
The only problem I see is that this wouldn't work under 95, but a few
#defines should work around that problem.
