on the other hand, it prevents a very confusing situation where uploaded files 
are case preserving and the case in links are case sensitive.  you uploaded 
your image as Foo.gif but then used {{foo.gif}} and cant figure out what's 
going on !?  tough!

i imagine there's middle ground to be found though ... considering the files 
go through .php code rather than providing direct links, it seems like it 
should be easy to have the .php code output the filename as found in the wiki 
link rather than is in the filesystem ...
