There is one small issue I would like to discuss:
While the comparison of directory and file names in phase1 is
case-insensitive on case-insensitive systems (os.path.normcase applied
to each name), the filtering of ignore and hide in phase0 isn't. 
I can't imagine a good reason for this and would like to change it by
also applying os.name.normcase to each name in ignore and hide.
