This comes under the heading of the road to good intentions....
Presumably this was done to compensate for Windows users who don't see a
difference between lc and uc chars in a filename. The trouble is it hides
errors that will bite the user in the b*m, ie me, when the code is ported to a
different server.
I really thought that it couldn't be a simple as filenames, because it worked
on my domain.
