Although anyone who upgrades a package like Pillow may have issues when running 'sage-fix-pkg-checksums', because that script assumes that the tarball and directory names match exactly (although "Pillow" and "pillow" are treated as matching on OS X). Should we modify that script to allow mixed case tarballs, but still insist on lowercase directory names? That shouldn't be hard to do.
