Is this something we want to support?  NetBSD made some invasive changes =
on their source tree to be able to support case-insensitive filesystems =
(like renaming 'cvs' to 'xcvs' to avoid clashing with the 'CVS' metadata =
directory), but they support building NetBSD on many different =
platforms.  We don't support that yet, though.

The file in question can be easily renamed, I think.
