I disagree.  If I were writing an app on my happy linux box, but I
wanted to distribute it about and have it work on Windows -- I would
want the warning.

Without the warning -- it seems a quick way to introduce 'porting'
problems on a script that otherwise shouldn't have them.  Anyhow, why
would I want to use same name / different case package names?  If I do
it -- its got to be a mistake anyhow...  ;-)
