[Samba] Samba shares are case-sensitive in Windows = bad

Linux will allow you to add directories in this way, but not Samba.  If 
you try to create a directory as stated above using Samba, you will get 
an error from the windows OS that tells you that a directory with that 
name already exists.  What exactly is being done to create the directories?
