Description
Some ports have trouble building on case insensitive file systems (https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63948). It would be nice if the workpath could be configured to be a dmg which could be case sensitive.

I would say it is a bad idea to try to build on a filesystem with one case sensitivity and then install to a filesystem with a different case sensitivity. We had a user who had created such a situation by making /opt/local/var/macports/build a symlink to a different filesystem, and odd problems resulted. So if you want to test case-sensitive builds, the entire MacPorts installation should be on a case-sensitive filesystem. I have successfully installed MacPorts to a case-sensitive disk image to test this before.
