Mac OS X has a weird filesystem.  They're basically supporting the "old" mac
filesystem (well it's actually intermediately old, they have a _really_ old
one that is no longer supported).  This filesystem, in a Unix environment,
is described as "case-respecting, case-insensitive."  Causes problems for a
few programs, which apple have largely fixed/patched (or, as in the case of
httpd, they distribute a module which specifically fixes it).

If I get some time this weekend maybe I'll check out how exactly it's
"fixed" for Windows in TC -- and maybe I can apply this to the mac, submit a
patch, etc.  Of course, there's the web.xml hack someone posted earlier, but
I really feel like Tomcat should be taking care of this.

cheers
