What is the value of "${Bwr_Files}"?

The arguments to file(REMOVE_RECURSE are intended to be directory
names. Are they?

Is the Mac file system in question case-sensitive, or
case-insensitive? (By default, most Macs are case-insensitive... and
we've had other reports of file weirdnesses on
case-sensitive-file-system-based Macs -- we do not have one of these
presently here at Kitware, so it's hard for us to repro any such bugs
to figure out if there is a good fix or not. Suggestions welcome.)


Thanks,
