[wix-devs] Issue 5809: WSL, CaseSensitive files on windows

[Hoover, Jacob]

Sorry, but two more questions...

A) Instead of making a global change, would you prefer a switch (akin to smart cabbing but for supporting case sensitive source file system)? Issue being if we don't uppercase the dictionary, then all dictionary searches have to take the hit of a case insensitive search for what I believe is the minority using case sensitive file systems.
B) With the current 4.x state, is it best to make the change in both 4.x and the dutil repo?  I don't see a means to get the 4.x repo to consume the dutil repo as of yet.

Pondering if we should be using DICT_FLAG_CASEINSENSITIVE and then not doing the uppercase to begin with... But would we need to support someone ever authoring on LSW case sensitive on, and taking 2 files w/ the same name and differing case and deploying them with two differing names?

Jacob, if you're looking for something to work on, this would be great to get fixed in the dutil repo.

Added more info on https://github.com/wixtoolset/issues/issues/5809

The end result is we are broken when cabbing and a path is used with case sensitivity turned on.  I can only assume we upper cased the file name to prevent duplicates.

Thanks,
Jacob
