In short, I would like to request that three test file names be
changed so that they can exist on case-insensitive file systems.

My reason follows.

textutils-2.0.tar.gz comes with these files

     tests/pr/2S_f-t_notab
     tests/pr/2s_f-t_notab
               ^
               |
     -----------

     tests/pr/2Sf-t_notab
     tests/pr/2sf-t_notab
               ^
               |
     -----------

     tests/pr/W72l17f-ll
     tests/pr/w72l17f-ll
              ^
              |
     ----------

i.e., three pairs of files are exactly the same except that one letter
has different case.

This causes "make check" to fail on case-insensitive file systems such
as NTFS or FAT32 on Windows where two files with same name but
different case cannot co-exist.

If you could rename these three files, then the normal build process
would go without a hitch under cygwin on Windows OS, i.e.,

        tar zxf textutils-2.0.tar.gz
        cd textutils-2.0
        ./configure
        make
        make check
        make install

Because of the file name problems, "make check" fails in three "pr"
program tests.

Thank you for your time.
