Or we could do parsing on C# and recurse on Mono.

Or update the csproj so that the file names are cased correctly for *nix
(note that the casing isn't a MONO thing, it's a OS thing), Windows will
continue to not care.

To be honest, I call bug on whatever tool creates and maintains the
csproj files.

It's not necessarily that straightforward.  If the file were renamed 
outside of the IDE and the new name differed only by case, there would 
be no reason for the IDE to update the csproj file automatically.

...and if we're going to be strictly pedantic, casing isn't an OS thing 
-- it's an FS thing :P

It's not that simple in the Windows world.  NTFS is actually case 
sensitive,
but the OS and tooling doesn't really support it well:

Ah right, I had forgotten entirely about the POSIX subsystem (gee, I 
can't imagine why).  The NT kernel fully supports case-sensitive file 
names, but the Win32 subsystem mucks it up.
