`-iname' is peculiar to GNU find, I think. Solaris 2.6 doesn't have
it.
Is it? Darn.

No. I was suggesting it because it does not require nearly the same
level

There is a variable completion-ignore-case. Of course, filename
completion in Tramp should depend on this variable.

What is the motivation for wanting to do case-insensitive filename
completions? I suppose this might be nice for computers with case-insensitive
file systems (Windows, Mac OS HFS+), but it's certainly not a desirable
feature for most Unix platforms. Or is it?
But (2) is clearly the way to go

Right now, Tramp uses `echo foo*' to find completions for foo. If we
want completions to be case-insensitive, we have the following
options:
(1) Always retrieve the whole directory contents.
This might be slow in large directories.
(2) Say `echo [fF][oO][oO]*' instead.
Here, it is
