I hadn't considered this issue of case before.  Having to replace all instances 
of #include <wtf/Foo.h> with #include <WTF/Foo.h> will make this much, much 
more likely to cause breakages than if we left the original case alone. It also 
seems somewhat tangential to the goal of moving WTF out of JavaScriptCore.
