Recommended windows compatible hg-safe filesystem?

[Mirza Hadzic]

In Unicode standard there is table that defines for each lower case 
Unicode char its upper case counterpart. This could be used to prevent 
adding "/dir/foo.txt" and "/dir/Foo.txt" at the same time but OTOH on 
Unix it is perfectly legal (and often used) to have "foo.txt" and 
"Foo.txt" in same directory. Only solution would be to create special 
repository flag "Dumb-FS mode" and for each filename in repository to 
add its Unicode lower-case pair which would be used for 
filename-equality comparison.
