I really would like to find the cause of the problem, because L3P relies on the
same routines, and it does work for L3P.
All filenames are internally made lowercase (FixDatName), so I don't have to worry
about any following compares.
Which platform(s) had the problem?

It was on a linux system where I had copied all the DAT files from a
smbmounted Windows filesystem and somehow ended up with them all in UPPERCASE.
This is probably not a normal setup, but it happened to me and I'm too
lazy to write a script file to fix it.  Anyhow I tried to allow for this
with the environment variable LDRAWDIRCASE=UPPERCASE and some code in
platform.c but I was thwarted by strcmp() to hardcoded lowercase special
filenames in L3Input.cpp.  Using stricmp() fixes this and is the approach I
used with the LdLite parser.  I can't think of any reason not to use stricmp
except that some libraries don't have it.  It's easy enough to write one
though.  (I think there's one in platform.c)
