There are case sensitive Windows subsystems (e.g. SFU/SUA
at least when running over NTFS), and the default behavior for
Win32 apps even can be changed to be case sensitive
via a registry key: ObCaseInsensitive).

More important is how easy it is to install - since XZ is
not even available via apt-get install on recent
distros (e.g. April 2009 Ubuntu 9.04), this discussion
seems about a year premature.
