case sensitivity problem

I'm currently moving our site from an NT/IIS machine to a Linux box, the problem is the person(s) who did the site did not follow a alphabetical-case-consistency accross all all lines of codes, this means, some links are capitalize, but the actual file that the link points to is NOT capitalize, this, of course is not a problem with Windows, but presents a huge challenge in Linux, esp if there are hundreds or even thousands of these links.

With this in mind, is there a way to turn off the case sensitivity in Apache or even in Linux OS?

Or is there any other possible solution(s) to my problem?

Thanks!
 
Well, I do know that if you enable the mod_speling module for apache, you can always havce the server resolve uppercase to lowercase, lowercase to uppercase and misspellings to their closest match (without changing a single page!). To do this you have to make sure that the apache server was compiled for modules, and add the module as follows:

[ignore this section if you enabled most or all of the modules that came with apache]
LoadModule mod_speling libexec/mod_speling.so
AddModule mod_speling.c

[this is necessary to get mod_speling working on the server]
Then add the line :
CheckSpelling On
