If you want to use file names that contain UPPER CASE letters, DSEE is a 
pain to use.  It is case-insensitive and converts any upper case letters it
sees to lower case.  For a module name like "p_EXTERNAL.c", you have to write
it as "p_:e:x:t:e:r:n:a:l.c", which is pretty painful.  Also, when BUILDing
your system, it simply can't find files that you have checked-out ("reserved" 
in DSEE) in your working directory if any part of the file name or the
path contains even one upper case letter.

Except for this drawback, it's pretty nice, although I'm not sure I 
would have used DSEE had I known about this beforehand.
