 On most web servers "Photo.jpg" and "photo.jpg" can be treated as
 different files.

 The problem is when backing up a local copy (to my Mac) it will not let
 both these files exist at the same time - it wants to replace one with the
 other as it treats lowercase and uppercase as the same.

 I suggest that we should do the same with uploads so that if "Photo.jpg"
 exisits and you upload "photo.jpg" is is renamed to a unique name.

 I guess this would require a fix in the wp_unique_filename() function.
