This is also true for cygwin.

The files Mike is talking about are (I think) automagically generated by
doxygen, and so Wei doesn't have any control over the names. (He can correct
me if this is wrong.) My suggestion is that these files just be removed
from CVS -- I don't think that have much real value. If we need docs like
this, they can be assembled on a machine with case-sensitive files, and then
assembled into some simpler file structure(?)

Wei can comment if I am thinking about this incorrectly.

In the meantime, these files don't cause any problems...just ignore the CVS
error messages.
