The language is case-sensitive, the file-system is not. So on a case
insensitive filesystem, the preprocessor won't complain or even know the
difference if you ask for "Stdlib.h" instead of "stdlib.h". A friend
once sent me some code written in VC++ and it was a real mess fixing the
filename cases.
