It's semi-case-sensitive. I haven't tested it, but it should be able to
lookup the *same* file in upper-case and in lower-case, even when it
shows the correct case in a directory listing. Depending how you build
the tarball, it may be a problem with tar, but it can also be a problem
somewhere else (e.g. in the shell if you used shell-globs).
