What do Microsoft's .NET implementations do in a case-sensitive
environment?

In particular:

	- What does Rotor do on BSD?

	- I vaguely remember hearing something about NTFS having a flag
	  you can set (on file names? on directories?) to indicate
	  that file names are case-sensitive.  Is that correct?
	  If so, how does MS.NET behave if this flag is set?
