That's the problem.. we use a rcs for the build boxes to automatically compile the 
changes.

Thanks for the tip. It's valuable for the unix systems, however I'd rather not rely on 
Perl for the win32 builds. So I'll go for a strategy that can work on the static source. 
Since the good platforms having case sensitive file systems also have symlinks, the 
workaround will be simple.. :)

Thanks again for your feedback,
