Does the entire filesystem need to be case insensitive, or is this a

It is a web based product, but I'm not sure rewriterules would help.
Lets say it's something like this
http://www.domain.com/index.php?action=foo
And inside index.php it does something like
<? include($_GET['page'].".php") ?>
This is a gross simplification, but it's my understanding that if the
file was named 'foo.php' and someone typed in
http://www.domain.com/index.php?action=Foo
It would still work on windows, but not on linux because of case
sensitivity.
How do the files get there? I'd probably use a brute force approach
like lowercasing everything on the way in, or if case needs to be
preserved store the real files in one place but build a symlink tree
somewhere else of all-lowercase names pointing to the real file, then
lowercase the reference and access the name in the symlink directory.
If you absolutely have to do it through the filesystem, I think you
could samba-mount a directory (perhaps even shared from the same
machine) with the case insensitive option.
The files get there through the web app itself. I will look into how
hard it is to lowercase everything, but can't I just use something like
vfat? Isn't vfat case insensitive?
