niksen, you are mistaken, it says that the case insensitive file system 
is missing because your file system is case sensitive. That is fine - it 
just means that it can't test the workarounds for case insensitive file 
systems.

You are running the tests as root, and the tests that validates that 
Mercurial works as expected even with insufficient permissions will thus 
fail to fail.

I guess we could make the test suite handle that somehow, but running 
the test as root is such a bad idea that nobody cares.
