I opened a ticket 
<https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/t/File-names-do-not-match-casing-in-includ/1284439>
 but it was closed shortly after. Microsoft could easily fix the `#includes` 
but the `#pragma comment(lib, ..)` would require an additionnal layer of 
OLDNAMES.lib aka `/ALTERNATENAME` directives when dealing with external 
libraries, since they already have the (old) `#pragma comment(lib, ..)` 
directives already stamped in. Even after making these changes manually for a 
PoC, we still needed `clang-cl ... -Xclang -fixit -Wnonportable-include-path 
-Wnonportable-system-include-path` to fix some paths in third-party libraries - 
and discovered along the way that `-fixit` didn't work with PCH files in this 
specific case. All just a massive pain.

We ended up mounting a 'casefold' filesystem and now it cross-compiles like a 
charm! :-) (and incidentally it is a bit faster to build than on Windows, on 
the same hardware)
