Run Adobe Photoshop CS3 on a Case Sensitive Filesystem

My roommate just slaved over his macbook for the past ~7 hours to get Adobe Photoshop CS3 to run on Leopard (with a case sensitive filesystem). Adobe has admitted that their products don’t work in with a case sensitive filesystem but refuse to invest the time required to fix it citing lack of “user benefit provided by case sensitivity” and that they’ve “chosen to invest elsewhere” John Nack. My roommate spent a few hours and was able to get Photoshop running on his Mac after renaming only 65 files.
