For it to work on directories, you have to set the ObCaseInsensitive
registry value to zero. See e.g.
http://www.osronline.com/lists_archive/ntfsd/thread4129.html or
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817921. For linux
kernel cross-builds, it's only filenames rather than dir names we're worried
about, but I still reckon that a patch to provide posix-flag mount points
might be a useful kind of 'managed mount lite' feature.
