Description
Original issue by @matz3
A file called test.js on the file system can be loaded from the server with different cases like Test.js or TEsT.js when using a case insensitive files system (Windows, Mac).
This can cause problems as local development works fine but when deploying to a linux based server the file can't be found anymore.
Background
Tomcat had a caseSensitive configuration with default true to do a case sensitive check also for case insensitive file systems. This config has been removed with Tomcat 7 to always enable this behavior.
See: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/context.html

Research direction
The issue identifies ui5-fs as the affected component; start by locating its file-loading and path-resolution entry points. Check how those operations behave on case-insensitive and case-sensitive file systems, then add coverage showing that differently cased paths are rejected consistently. Done means the same case-sensitive behavior works independently of the host file system.
