[fpc-pascal] FPC with case insensitive file system under Linux

[Noah Silva]

Hi Sven,

>From what I've read, the NT kernel (and filesystem) support a lot of things
that Windows in general doesn't.  Presumably this is because it is
(unofficially, of course) loosely based on VMS, but Win32 was originally
designed to work with DOS, etc.

Thank you,
     Noah Silva
