Description:
------------
Let's say you have two directories: dir1 and Dir1. In the resulting tar file, the contents of these two directories are merged into a single directory.

(The same problem exists in the Zip package.)

Test script:
---------------
require_once('PEAR.php');
require_once('Tar.php');
$zip = new Archive_Tar( 'testfile.gz', 'gz');

// these files/dirs are created manually on the web server
$fileArray[] = 'test.txt';
$fileArray[] = 'test'; // should contain a unique file
$fileArray[] = 'Test'; // also should contain a file

$zip->add($fileArray);

Expected result:
----------------
Resulting gz file should contain a test and Test directory, each with its original file.

Actual result:
--------------
The gz file contains just a "test" directory which contains the files originally in Test and test.

Nevermind. The archives are just fine. What you see inside an archive depends on the client OS. So, if you create a tar/gz file that contains directories dir1 and Dir1 on a case-sensitive OS but open the archive on a case-insensitive OS (Windows) you see the directories merged. But, if you open it on a case-sensitive OS, the original directories are preserved.
