I have a long list of similar Windows problems which was probably
originally compiled in the FreeBSD 4-FreeBSD 5 days.  This prompted me
to look again on HEAD, and I'm very happy to report that the vast
majority of issues have been dealt with.  The only one remaining is a
pair of man pages whose names differ only by case (which works out
really poorly on a case-insensitive fs):

src/share/man/man9/vfs_mount.9
src/share/man/man9/VFS_MOUNT.9

(of course, new ones could have easily cropped up in the meantime).
