file name changed from uppercase to lowercase

[git at bmts.com]

You can make a share case sensitive, but this is
not recommended. (by default, Samba is Case
preserving, hence if you name Giggle first it's
ok, but not case sensitive)

There was a document mailed to the list about a
month ago that explained all the weird and wanky
ways Windows NT mangles Case, and the pitfalls you
can run into if you make Samba case sensitive. It
should still be in the archives.

change the file name.
