convmv can upper/lower already. it can upper lower virtually every charset
becuase it first converts everything to utf-8, then does the case conversion
and then converts back to the original encoding. When the encoding is not ASCII
it has to be specified of course. Anyway - mass-case-changing is possible ;-)

convmv -r --lower -f utf8 /path

for example.
