I take it back.  This doesn't work as expected.

The only method I found that works correctly is:

mycommands = \
command 1; \
command 2; \
command ...;
%.txt: %.app
        $(mycommands)
%.txt: %.APP
        $(mycommands)


I realized that this is not case sensitive by any means.  I see Keith's 
need for the case insensitive pattern but I still don't think making 
the tool case insensitive in all cases is the correct thing.
