Would this be done just for anchors, or for filenames as well?  I  
guess this depends on whether we are assuming that files are written  
to a case-insensitive filesystem.  I don't mind changing anchors too  
much, but would rather not have the filenames become like N_My_Class- 
class.html, if we can avoid it.  I guess perhaps there could be a  
command-line switch to control whether the name mangling applies to  
just the anchors or to the entire URL -- perhaps something like "-- 
case-insensitive-filesystem" to reflect its intended usage.

Thoughts?
