  That is pretty much what I did, except I used a recursive shell function
instead of "find", and I also did some elementary checking to prevent
overwriting files if (1) the new name already existed or (2) the file name was
already entirely lowercase.

  I was going to take you up on this, but the Perl code would so closely
match the shell code that it would be uninteresting.  If I think of a neat
way to abuse the idea, I'll post it (assuming Kevin Clark doesn't beat me
to it).  ;-)
