Summary0015941: file glob case sensitivity depends on platform
Description[The OS did not fit in the above field, so here is the full version:
Mac OS 10.11.3 / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)]

Cmakes file glob returns files regardless of the case used in the glob expression on Mac OS (even on a case sensitive filesystem). On Linux glob returns the files which match the case being used in the expression, as would be returned by the ls terminal command.
Steps To ReproduceHave two files where the suffix differs in case, use cmake file glob with on of the cases used in a suffix.
Example:
# directory
src/
  foo.f90
  bar.F90

# ls on Mac
ls src/*.F*
bar.F90

# cmake on Mac
file(GLOB all_sources ${src}/*.F*
message(STATUS "all_sources: ${all_sources}")
-- all_sources: /.../src/bar.F90;/.../src/foo.f90

# ls on Linux
ls src/*.F*
bar.F90

# cmake on Linus
file(GLOB all_sources ${src}/*.F*
message(STATUS "all_sources: ${all_sources}")
-- all_sources: /.../src/bar.F90
TagsNo tags attached.

 Yes, the implementation would need to be taught to read filesystem properties on the volume where the globbing takes place to see whether it is case sensitive or not.
