It's not even necessary to use make to make make; there's a bootstrap script as well IIRC. Plus build help in README.W32. I would add a couple of things: first, this feels like a flaw in the GNUWin32 build, in that a Windows version should be assume case insensitive filesystems. Not my area of expertise, and there may be a lot of history I don't know, but it might be worth suggesting to them that they build it that way. Second, from a brief review of the code it looks like it wouldn't be hard to change this from a compile-time to a run-time choice using a special target like .HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS. I think the patheq macro and a few pathname-hashing macros would need to become functions driven off a boolean and that's about it (aside from testing and documentation of course :-). This could coexist with the compile flag which would then specify just the default behavior. However, a 3.82 RC is due RSN which may mean this is a bad time for updates.
