Yes, this patch fixes the problem for installation of man pages on
DJGPP. I also tested with and without the patch on Cygwin, using the
latest CVS version of 0.9.7-stable. Cygwin also had the problem of the
manpage getting clobbered by an attempt to link to a file with a name
differing only in case. The patch fixes this for Cygwin also. Please
commit the patch if you don't see any other problems with it.
Cygwin fails compilation because of a problem with the asm modules in
crypto/des. Since that seems to be a separate problem, I'll send that
to rt to generate a new ticket.
Cygwin file names are case aware, but I am not sure that you can call
them case sensitive. Cygwin (and Windows) can remember that a file
is named "FILE.txt" rather than "file.txt", but "rm file.txt" will
remove "FILE.txt", and the filesystem sees the names as referring to
the same file. Individual programs can have case-sensitive arguments,
however. For instance, the man program on both Cygwin and DJGPP is
case sensitive for arguments. "man ASN1_OBJECT_new" will get the man
page, but "man asn1_object_new" will return an error that the man page
does not exist.
