I remember hearing that Panther was going to have the option to format in either case sensitive or case insensitive HFS+ but I haven't heard anything else on the subject, so I decided to browse the Unix and advanced features PDFs from Apple's website and they list HFS+ in Panther as just case insensitive. Did Apple take case sensitive out of the HFS+ formatting or is it still an option?

I believe it is only available in the Server version of Panther. From the "File System Journaling" Technology Brief (PDF):

Mac OS X Server v10.3 now offers an optional case-sensitive file system format for HFS+, allowing administrators to safely host files for use by UNIX applications that require case sensitivity.
