Hi James,

Sorry it took me an eternity to answer to your email :(

I don't think the case sensitive match was done on purpose, it's more than
noone has brought it up so far imo :) So your patch is really helpful!
However, I reworked it so that it handles non-ASCII UTF-8 strings as well,
see
http://gitorious.org/~teuf/libgpod/teuf-sandbox/commit/b35c72da7e3a73d031cdf4200eadc3145436336b
(disclaimer, I haven't tested it yet ;)

Let me know if that's fine with you, thanks again for the patch, and I'm
really sorry for the huge delay in answering :(
