apktool decode can be tripped up by obfscuators

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Skype for Android uses an obfuscation which trips up apktool when creating
the smali output files:

$ apktool d -d com.skype.android.verizon.apk outI: Baksmaling...
Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException:
brut.androlib.AndrolibException: File already exists:

I'm currently using apktool 1.1.1 on Mac OS X. Version 1.0.0 didn't produce
this error but I don't know if the problem existed and was being swallowed
or is actually new.

Please provide any additional information below:
You can get a Skype for Android 1.0.0.6 .apk from

Actually this is a problem of baksmali, not apktool - I can't fix this. You 
could 
create an issue in smali's issue tracker, but I doubt JF will add some dirty 
hacking 
just to support obfuscated apps on shitty, case-insensitive filesystems. It 
would be 
hard to fix this.

Of course you could use some case-sensitive filesystem and then you shouldn't 
have 
this problem - I'm pretty sure OSX itself is case-sensitive. If you don't want 
to 
convert all your data, you could create some small volume for this purpose.
