More MacOSX fiddling.  As noted in a comment, I believe all variations
of these "search the directory" schemes (including this one) are still prone
to making mistakes.

+ *                           |----- namelen -----|
+ * buf is the full path, but len only counts up to (& exclusive of) the
+ * extension.  name is the module name, also exclusive of extension.
+ *
+ * We've already done a successful stat() or fopen() on buf, so know that
+ * there's some match, possibly case-insensitive.
+ *
  * case_ok() is to return 1 if there's a case-sensitive match for
  * name, else 0.  case_ok() is also to return 1 if envar PYTHONCASEOK
  * exists.
+ *
  * case_ok() is used to implement case-sensitive import semantics even
  * on platforms with case-insensitive filesystems.  It's trivial to implement
  * for case-sensitive filesystems.  It's pretty much a cross-platform
