I think we want glob("*.py") to find

Yeah, I suppose so. But there are more crazy details. E.g. IIRC
Windows silently ignores trailing dots in filenames. Do we want
"*.py." to match SETUP.PY then?
Someone who is fresher than I am at Windows programming should answer
this, but AFAICT Win32 provides no API that will tell you if a
particular filename / volume is case sensitive.
I don't have web access at the moment to check but IIRC the
GetVolumeInformation call does return an indicator of whether the volume
is case-sensitive via the VOLUME_FLAG flag enum. At least, it claims to:
I don't have access to a case-sensitive filesystem to check whether it's
lying or not.
