Yeah, I've been eyeing that one but have been busy with more pressing
things.  As far as I've seen, this is innocuous, so more an annoyance
than anything else.

Yeah, that one got discovered already today.

Now, now it's because perl arguments won't be automatically downcased
in some cases (actually, you discovered that a while ago!), so there's
an explicit downcase of in Configure (for --foo=BAR cases, just the
part before the equal sign).  Of course, the issue above is how that
fix comes back in bites me ;-)

The easiest (I'm all for easy in this case) is to downcase the indices
in [.Configurations]10-main.conf...

Will be visible in tonight's snapshot (did you know that we produce
nightly snapshots?  ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot or
http://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot).

Cheers,
Richard
