RFC: Making character encoding aliases case-insensitive

Hi,

To reduce the mess of character encoding aliases a little bit, I propose
we make them case insenstive. This reduces the number of aliases a bit
and also makes us better compatible with the JDK, which also treats
encoding names as case insensitive.

The only downside I can think of is that existing startup scripts that
specify an additional encoding alias that is not in lower case, will
break.

Any objections or comments?

Regards,
Jeroen

        to lower case and removed redudant aliases.
        * gnu/java/io/EncodingManager.java
        (findEncoderConstructor, findDecoderConstructor): Convert

        lowercase before looking for alias.
