Me, I use *.cc for C++.  But, as the creator of DJGPP, I have to deal
with all the users who run GCC HELLO.C and can't figure out why it
doesn't work right.

Yes, and the cvs source repository (used to build cvs itself) needed a
hack to get around this.

Most of the problems we've seen revolve around wildcards and
findfirst/findnext type functionality.  When you're case insensitive,
software and users get lazy about case, then wildcards stop working
right when you *do* care about case.
