thats a good one. this is not a problem with the repository. this
is a problem with this troff compontent assuming a case sensitive
filesystem. i cant fix it without changing troff. also, this isnt
the only case. i can't for example check out on windows because
we have /bin/aux and aux is a special name on dos.

the repository files itself use a mangeling scheme. but not whats
checked out for obvious reasons.

making all files in plan9 comply to all the filesystem restrictions
(what about unicode?) of all foreign operating systems out there
seems futile.
