+1 from me. I was trying to select something consistent, and I thought
lowercase 'looked' better.
The tests themselves expect to get uppercase, so that is why some of
them fail after your change.

I'm planning on doing a few rounds of win32 development next week. I'm
sorry I left things broken for so long.

I'm hoping that by the end of next week I can get the test suite to
completely pass on win32.
