3. What about using a different "find file" mechanism? Use case sensitive
titles and filenames as usual, but try to simulate the behaviour of OS/X
or Windows: Try to load the filename as given. If not found, do a case
insensitive search for the file. This should be easy to implement, but I
don't know yet where and what internals of PmWiki this will break.
