This is a bug, which should be fixed.  The directory should be "HP"
(that's how it's referenced elsewhere).  Maybe installs would still
break on platforms with case-insensitive filesystems though, and that
should be fixed also.

Maybe it's possible that this change could have been avoided by putting
the new descriptions in the old file?
