Nah. I am already unhappy with the variants we do right now....

I.e. fake a case insensitive filesystem. Using the FSNode code in  
backends/fs/. This way we catch all possible variants at once. Of  
course all backends then must properly implement that code (I think  
they mostly do already anyway, though).


On another note, we actually try many many more file names, since we  
*also* iterate over _defaultDirectories, and then the current  
directory. So when ScummVM tries to locate a given file, at times we  
check dozens of places before giving up... This isn't nice and could  
lead to performance problems, esp. when we are just looking for the  
existance of one of multiple files.
