I was thinking of adding an option to allow this on a wildcard match of a directory name, ie. forcing case-sensitivity and not preserving case on a directory, rather than a per-share basis. This would fix the problem for those people who just *have* to have 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 files in a directory :-) :-).
