Title:
  mtools do not work in Turkish locale

Status in mtools package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Turkish locales have a unusual collation feature. The letter "i" is
  uppercased to "İ", while the usual English uppercase "I" is lowercased
  to "ı". This breaks programs that use common "upcase(s1) == KEYWORD"
  idiom to recognize keywords with case insensitivity.

  /etc/mtools.conf (default):
  drive a: file="/dev/fd0" exclusive

  $ LC_CTYPE=tr_TR.UTF-8 mtools
  Syntax error at line 5 for drive A: column 9 in file /etc/mtools.conf: unrecognized keyword

  $ LC_CTYPE=C mtools
  Supported commands:
  mattrib, mbadblocks, mcat, mcd, mclasserase, mcopy, mdel, mdeltree
  mdir, mdoctorfat, mdu, mformat, minfo, mlabel, mmd, mmount
  mpartition, mrd, mread, mmove, mren, mshowfat, mshortname, mtoolstest
  mtype, mwrite, mzip
