And that is one of the reasons that a file naming requirement exists in the first place. This ensures that you can't name the file is always in the casing it's expected to be an will function perfectly in both case-sensitive and case-insensitive filesystems. Previously, the system checked for both versions of the file name and file searches aren't the most inexpensive process so this aids performance, also.

While I'm sure there's way you could patch it, it's not recommended. You could create a small script that would change the filenames for you instead of having to do it manually.
While we all understand it's not a fun thing to do, it's not likely to change now.
