   I understand. I'm just looking at the code (freqit_common.js) and I see that   
   it's using the Sync-JS global "wildmatch" function to do the magic name and   
   filename comparisons against the requested name and that function (wildmatch,   
   see https://www.synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html for details) compares   
   case-insensitively by default (the script author would have had to pass "true"   
   as the first argument to wildmatch() for it to behave case-sensitively). So   
   the intention of the script is for it to be compare case-insensitively. If   
   it's not, it could be a bug in wildmatch() or perhaps in the script itself.
