When Brian designed the haskell portgroup, he appears to have intended for the
portname to be lowercased, presumably to match how we do perl module ports.
(Perl module names are mixed-case, but the corresponding portnames are
lowercased.)
You are now adding ports with mixed-case names.
We can do it either way, I'd just like us to be consistent, and for the
portgroup to encode that behavior.
