If I don't do the convert-to-lowercase bit, I instead get
errors like this:
-------------------------- 8< -----------------------------
c:\gcc3.2\gcc-3.2\libjava/java/awt/image.java:48: Class `java.awt.Image' 
already defined in c:\gcc3.2\gcc-3.2\libjava/java/awt/Image.java:48.
   public abstract class Image
                         ^
c:\gcc3.2\gcc-3.2\libjava/java/awt/image.java:99: confused by earlier 
errors, bailing out
-------------------------- 8< -----------------------------

(Notice that it has taken the source file name in lower-
case in the first instance, but with the proper case in the
second instance, within the same error message.)
