I think it would be best in the layer object (ie. in the map file).  I ideally, it would
be great to have:

LAYER
      connectiontype postgis
      case [ignore|strict]
      ...
END

But, I dont think they will want to put that in for *all* layer types.

An alternative would be:
LAYER
      connectiontype [postgis_ignorecase|postgis_strictcase|postgis]
      ...
END

I dont think a compile time option is a good idea because most people are using a
pre-compiled version anyways.

I guess we should move this discussion  to the mapserver developers list.
