Looks like everything is upper-case in the distribution files.
Unfortunately, the case of the names on the files is only a small part of the
battle. The real problem is all the references to various DAT files inside all
the other various DAT files. Those references are definitely mixed, but tending
toward lower-case.
So the real, current standard is that part-filenames are case-insensitive.
