Ciao,
Sorry for the extremely long delay in replying (and thanks), your
mail(s) got filtered. :-/

I confirm that macosx is case insensitive, but I also confirm that we
do use RPM to build packages there without too much troubles.

I'm happy to change the name to something which makes more sense but I
would really not know how to call it... ;) Suggestions?
