Yep, case sensitivity. I’ve ran into it too, but haven’t fixed it.  
Anyone have a patch for this?

Not just case sensitivity, but also path separators ☹  
I started on a rewrite of paths a while back, but gave up because  
there was so many (and I think I ran into some additional problems).  
The code base has unfortunately drifted to become Windows-only.

Yes, that’s definitely part of the goal.

Is it going to stay that way? I was very excited to start running some  
[ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET)[http://ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) MVC demos using IronRuby on my Mac :). Is it  
part of the goal to stay Mono-compatible?

The codebase is still mono compatible (AFAIK), but the build scripts  
have  
definitely become windows-centric.
