Buffer names are *always* case-sensitive. I can only understand why do
you ask for this for file names, since Windows is case-insensitive. But
buffer names don't have to be derived from file names (there are buffers
which don't correspond to *any* file).
There is no such option, currently, even for files. Personally, I think
it's a bad idea. Emacs is case-sensitive originally, so forcing it to be
otherwise would risk breaking a lot of code. I work on Windows 95 a lot,
and don't have any problems remembering the case of my file names. If you
have special problems, please elaborate.
