Hi,

Debugging `org-file-apps' and `org-open-file' regexp subgroups I noticed an issue: the code distorts case of the link components making them invalid. The patch to fix the bug is attached, the commit message contains an example of the problem.

Maybe I break some use case, but I am unaware when namely downcased link must be used.

Subject: [PATCH] org.el: Preserve case for link subgroups from `org-file-apps'

* lisp/org.el (org-open-file): Avoid matching of `org-file-apps' records
against the link converted to downcase since it caused incorrect
substitutions to the command.

Consider the following entry

    (add-to-list
     'org-file-apps
     '("\\.PDF\\(?:\\.[gx]z\\|\\.bz2\\)?::\\(#[^:]*\\)::\\(.+\\)\\'"
      . "okular --find %2 %s%1"))

and the link
<file:///usr/share/doc/bash/bashref.pdf::#Redirections::before>
Without the patch

    okular --find before /usr/share/doc/bash/bashref.pdf\#redirections

command is executed and the application can not resolve internal
cross-reference anchor.

the purpose of `dlink' is not clarified, so I assume that the only
purpose is to allow matching file suffixes, e.g. ".pdf" vs ".PDF".
