i don't like case-insensitivity. it makes lookups more expensive
(especially if you try to optimize them with hashing). and it doesn't
fit the case-sensitive surroundings of the language.

(and yes, i complained about the case insensitivity at many other places
probably a year ago. it's just that i didn't remove it myself, so nobody
did ...)

this is rather similar to what i built into qmake a few days ago (though
of course all the os flags are in the universal CONFIG), so yeah, i
guess it must be good. ^^
