Indeed it seems that this is the case.  I am sorry for having
reported a spurious problem as though it were MakeMaker's fault.

It would appears that folks on Windows and OS/2 (Mac OS?) would
also have trouble with this case sensitive addition to the
clean target:

$ search makefile.pl dbipr/win
    VERSION_FROM=> 'DBI.pm',
    PREREQ_PM => { "Test::Simple" => 0.40 },
    EXE_FILES => [ "dbiproxy$ext_pl", "dbiprof$ext_pl" ],
    DIR => [ ],
    dynamic_lib => { OTHERLDFLAGS => "$::opt_g" },
    clean => { FILES=> "\$(DISTVNAME) Perl.xsi t/zv*_*.t"
                        ." dbiproxy$ext_pl dbiprof$ext_pl dbitrace.log
dbi.prof ndtest.prt" },
    dist  => {
        DIST_DEFAULT=> 'clean distcheck disttest tardist',

Nasty.
