Ah, more interesting info!

I can rename the files, but as it happens I tried this experiement for a 
single file and it did no good.

Is there a reason why the experiment would fail on a single file, but be 
expected to work if they were all renamed to lowercase?

If there is yet another approach, I'd be grateful for hearing of it at 
whatever point the info might become available.

Once I get this all properly configured and understood, I expect to make the 
CMakeList.txt files and instructions available to others who are interested 
in building this project in the MS IDE environment.  Also, I know that many 
folks build this particular project in other environments as well, so the 
utility of CMake in this case may ultimately be even wider than the MS 
folks.

Thus, a solid solution would be very much appreciated by me, on behalf of 
others as well as myself.

Thanks much for all your help so far!
