To work around the case-sensitivity issues, Mono has

Indeed, that was the case - fixed in r140786 (trunk), r140789 (2.4 branch) and
r140790 (2.4.2 branch)

That's one way of doing it, in this case sufficient. To keep your app portable
you should always match the filecase on disk with the case of references to the
file in your code or markup. It's usually a good idea to just make all your
files lowercase or camelcase, whichever suits you best.
