can?t be done without it. 

On the Mac it can, because the usual system calls will do it for you.
Or we could implement file names as regexps.  It's an optimization to
actually normalize.

But the real problem is that on a typical Linux system with ext2 fs,
they aren't the same file name AFAIK.

AFAICS this is going to get us into all the same problems that come
with case (in)sensitive file names.  I don't see a need for XEmacs to
be a leader here.
