David,
The attached patch updates the crontab syntax file to allow specifying
the month or day of week in any case. This follows the behavior of
those cron daemons which allow using names instead of numbers for these
fields, as they specifically use a case-insensitive string comparison.
If the patch looks acceptable, would you mind forwarding an updated
version of the syntax file to Bram so it will be included in the
upcoming release?
Thanks,

Subject: Ignore case for month/day fields
The versions of cron which support specifying the month and day fields via
names instead of just numbers are case-insensitive when parsing the names.
