I'm working on refactoring Python/import.c, currently the case_ok()
function.

I was wondering about these lines:
  /* new-fangled macintosh (macosx) */
  #elif defined(__MACH__) && defined(__APPLE__) && defined(HAVE_DIRENT_H)

Is this for Mac OSX? Does the Mac have a case insensitive file system
(my experiments on the SF compile farm say no)?

And finally: Is there any other way to find the true spelling of a file
except than a linear search with opendir()/readdir()/closedir() ?
