For what it's worth, the implmentation to strcasecmp() provided as a
replacement in GNU fileutils uses tolower() to do the
comparison. Thus, I think we can safely do the same.

Digital Unix does not say it either.

Well spotted. I did not think about that...

I think we should use tolower in compare_no_case. However, I don't
know what Lars' (?) comments about not being posix mean here.
