I don't know whether this number increases or decreases, I have just copied this check from the original NetBSD script. I also do not know whether a case-sensitive filesystem is strictly required, and in which problem you will run with other systems. You can try it by passing the option --ignore-case-check to the bootstrap script, this turns the check off. > One question is, does GODI really require that?

I can imagine that certain checks do not work properly, so maybe one or the other error condition is not detected, or maybe filename manipulations do not work always.
