yes, it needed to be somewhere more accessible tho (as a default
example maybe), as I have no end of problems trying to get AHCC to
compile anything because of the strictness of Project file to
FileSystem case sensitivity. The irony being I could only get it to
work if I copied the source to a HostFS using ARAnyM

I do kind of understand the default HalfSensitive setting though,
helping cross filesystem naming with respect to using Windows drives
as HostFS
