I was wondering if it'd be very difficult to add a UMSDOS-like 
filesystem to mount?  Would be great to use all those CD-ROMS I have 
with their Unix filenames.  And this could then be used for the 
case-insensitive filenames problem.

And I noticed bash only recognizes .exe files in it's path by their 
filename without the extension.  .com and .bat files must be called 
explicetly (ie, edit.com file.c).  Bug, feature?

Thanks
