NTFS preserves case but is case-insensitive.  This is wired in a long
way down the filesystem code, and I'm not aware of any ways of changing
it.  FAT16 and FAT32 long filenames have the same property, plus it's
not advised to run CVSNT (or, in my opinion, anything else!) on them.

I think you're out of luck, Jake - unless you want to modify the CVSNT
code to do something really screwy like mangle names on the way into and
out of the repository.  Cheaper and more reliable to rename the files...
