This might sound silly, but why not set up the system so that it first
checks for the filename in the case you typed it, and if that fails goes to
the first name in that directory FAT that matches case-insensitively?

And, of course, make the whole thing (whether you want total case
insensitivity, simple case retention prohibiting case-differntiated files,
or full case sensitivity which allows case-differentiated files) an OPTION
in the config.sys file -- maybe even a per-filesystem or even a
per-partition option.
