Actually, now that I gave this a breif thought, I do have an objection
to this patch.

Changes to Silver should be in the form of a changeset.  They should
always represent a good-faith attempt at solving a particular bug or
add a particular feature -- in short, represent a concept has a whole.

My understanding of case-insensitive/case-preserving file-systems
tells me that there are other files in Silver which would cause
conflicts.  I know of, (not including the poly conflict):

   src/doc/ps : SEGBIND.ps <--> segbind.ps
   src/hyper/bitmaps : ATX=B.bitmap <--> aTx=b.bitmap

I did not do an exhustive search, so there may still be others.

Changing just poly.ht and poly.pht does not solve the problem.


I would like to _strongly_ petition commiters to Silver to attempt
commits which respect the notion of a changeset.


Thanks,
Steve
