Summary: case-sensitive bugs in "tex"

Initial Comment:
The current rev of the "tex" function (as of
2004/11/21) has some problems that seem to stem from
recent case-sensitive patches.

The filename argument is converted to uppercase if it
was originally in lowercase. E.g. tex (foo, "bar.tex")
writes "BAR.TEX". This is due to Maxima storing strings
as Lisp symbols, I guess. It could be fixed by
enclosing every call to "stripdollar" with
"print-invert-case", perhaps. There are several
"stripdollar" calls in src/mactex.lisp.

The equation label generated by "tex" is uppercase when
it should be lowercase, e.g. "(\%O5)" instead of "(\%o5)".

I fixed the couple of places where the file name was upcased.

I also fixed the equation label to produce lowercase.

I did not, however, wrap every call to stripdollar with
print-invert-case.  I'm going to leave that for more bug
reports.
