I suppose it's sufficient to say that systems should be installed in
whatever :common case translates all upper-case into, whih one unix
means, all lowercase.  For the various other platforms the behavior of
:common case handling is sufficient.

This however leaves it up to packagers to do any changes required to
coerce packages to work under the case handling of whatever operating
system their target host is on.

Can anyone who has worked on existing CCLAN packages comment on
effects thismay have on them, and if it looks to add significant work
to the packaging process?
