It's interesting to note that if you merely list the files in the archive
with "unarj ldraw.exe" they are listed in UPPERCASE.  However the important
thing is how they unpack themselves, and that is lowercase.

I'll put a new version of the ldglite source on my website this weekend
that expects this.  (I'll also try to add instructions on how to hook it
to Netscape so you can click on the [DAT] links in linux)
