I've been concerned mainly with files actually on a case-insensitive 
filesystem, because once you get them off there, it's very easy to change the 
case of each name and/or extension with the rename plugin.

I've added a configuration option as suggested, in case the "proper" approach 
is too much fuss. I intend to try to get the kinks out of the automatic 
detection.
