The filename issue is a red herring. Currently, darcs treats file names
in a case sensitive manner, even if the underlying FS doesn't -- try
adding 'foo.c' and 'Foo.c' with Win32 darcs sometime.
The script question doesn't preclude using a different script language
if and the appropriate runtime hooks exist to invoke it on Win32.

So create a posthook that says "if changes --match="filenames blah" ;

'NO CROSSING DOMAINS PLEASE' ; fi".
Ah, but that wouldn't work on any non-unix system. I would prefer that
darcs would offer a portable solution that is not dependent on scripts.
This is also my objection to have the list of domains as a script; I
would
much rather see a static, declarative! list of domains (even if that is
more constrained).
I didn't intend to force everybody to use unix shell here. You would
be able to choose your language, so you could use a list of domains,
or Haskell.
Right now I think the best way would be to extend hooks (if neccesary)
so you can implement such a feature yourself on top of them.
BTW, *nix users are plugging darcs into the overall *nix philosophy,
where you can connect small tools together to get what you want. Do you
want to ban this from us because it doesn't work on Windows? (and I
think it works to some degree with cygwin, etc, doesn't it?)
Best regards
Tomasz
