Removing Case Sensitivity

Hi There,

I sync my calibre folder between a Linux and Windows and have discovered a problem. This is not really a problem with Calibre itself, but the file storage system.

Essentially it comes down to the this. Unix file systems are case sensitive, Windows is not. I am not sure what file functions Calibre does when you change a Book title but the end result is as the following example (I am ignoring the author part, but this affects that too)

eg.
orginal title: Dawn of the dead
windows folder name: Dawn of the dead (23)

New title: Dawn of the Dead
new folder name: Dawn of the dead (23)

Do a rsync to linux, and the book cover and formats are lost in a different folder.

Linux will have these two folders now:
folder name: Dawn of the dead (23)
folder name: Dawn of the Dead (23)

Any ideas or fixes to prevent this from happening. Unfortunately I play games, so it makes the windows machine a necessity.
