I think at the very least it could be useful to warn the user when
files are being added that can't exist portably. Case sensitive
filenames are an example of this, but other problematic items are
filename length limits, or invalid characters (ASCII/Unicode characters
1 through 31, ", <, >, |, \b, \0, \t).

Cheers,
