Comment:

 I would say it is a bad idea to try to build on a filesystem with one case
 sensitivity and then install to a filesystem with a different case
 sensitivity. We had a user who had created such a situation by making
 /opt/local/var/macports/build a symlink to a different filesystem, and odd
 problems resulted. So if you want to test case-sensitive builds, the
 entire MacPorts installation should be on a case-sensitive filesystem. I
 have successfully installed MacPorts to a case-sensitive disk image to
 test this before.
