Its a bit more complex. And depends on the version of windws and FAT
you are using.

Look at the following in 'man smb.conf':
case sensitive
default case
preserve case
short preserve case
Also under Project Settings you should be able to change the directory
name to all lowercase. I'm unsure if this would work.
'.cvsignore' might also be useful. IMHO you shouldn't be CVSing your
Release(or Debug) directory anyway.
