Not clear to me what you're saying here.  Are you suggesting that I  
(could) partition my
hard drive into a chunk containing the current file system and a new  
chunk (with
nothing --- yet --- written on it)?  And that I could choose a disk  
format for
the new chunk such that the file system would be case-sensitive there?

But then I'd get case sensitivity only when working with files stored  
in the new
chunk, is it not so?

Sounds dangerous to me, anyhow!

I don't have much of an understanding of file systems and  
partitioning, I'm afraid.

	cheers,
