I wonder what kind of latitude we have here with filenames?

I am thinking of what Larry Wall says about capitalization of Perl,
something like "Perl" is the name of the language, "perl" is the utility you
use for that language.

In using LDraw with an increasingly case-sensitive file system, this may
become an issue in the future.  Almost everywhere I've seen, lower-case
filenames are preferred and/or recommended for executables.

Again, I would keep filenames all lowercase since issues with operating
systems could come up.

Keep Building!!
