FWIW, I checked the web pages:
alphard[85]:/sw/swtest/egcs/wwwdocs/htdocs% grep egcs * | wc -l
290
alphard[86]:/sw/swtest/egcs/wwwdocs/htdocs% grep EGCS * | wc -l
80
One advantage of the lower-case version is that it's more consistent when
deadling with the names of mailing-lists, domains and URLs (unless we
write these in upper-case as well, as in EGCS.cygnus.com and EGCS-patches).
