Hello,

I noticed that when installing openssl, a number of symbolic links are created in the "man" directory that point a lowercase name to an uppercase file, or vis versa. For example: "SSL.3 -> ssl.3", "RC4.3 -> rc4.3".

On OS X, the file system is NOT case sensitive so the creation of such links over-write the target file. That is, SSL.3 and ssl.3 are the same file.

Would it therefore be possible to add a check to "configure" to look for a file system that is case insensitive and to prevent the creation of symlinks that overwrite their target file? (I suspect that the purpose behind the symlink in the first place was to work around having a case-sensitive file system. :) )

Joe
