Darwin is also known as Mac OS X. Beware that this system @emph{can} be
case-preserving, but case insensitive. This can cause nasty problems,
since for instance the installation attempt for a package having an
@file{INSTALL} file can result in @samp{make install} report that
nothing was to be done!
That's all dependent on whether the file system is a UFS (case
sensitive) or HFS+ (case preserving). By default Apple wants you to
install the OS on HFS+. Unfortunately, there are some pieces of
software which really need to be built on UFS. We may want to rebuild
darwin to have both UFS and HFS+ available (and put the /local/build
tree on the UFS).
