This is not quite a solution (it is not a patch). And you *definitely* want to make the use of strcasecmp() contingent on ignore_case. You are not alone on this world, after all, and other people have case-sensitive filesystems. It's totally doable, of course.

So, do you feel up to the task?

Ciao, Johannes
