[Yanel-dev] Potential pitfall on Mac OS X with case sensitivity

[Michael Wechner]

Please be aware that Yanel is supposed to be case-sensitive, whereas 
nevertheless never use the "same" name twice, e.g.

yanel.xml and Yanel.xml

because AFAIK Windows will have problems with this, because AFAIK 
Windows is not case-sensitive.

Thanks

Michi
