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)
