#29 Windows has case-insensitive filenames

When unzipping the .zip archive, I get errors
that 'comicpage' and 'netcomics' files cannot be
created.

Upon investigation, it appears that the archive
contains directories called 'Netcomics'
and 'Comicpage', plus files called 'comicpage'
and 'netcomics'.

WinZip cannot extract the files because it has created
the directories, and Windows sees these
files/directories as having the same name (Windows has
case-insensitive directory/filenames).

To correct this, the directories should perhaps be
renamed to something else.

    This is can't be easily solved and will require a
    significant change to the cvs repository. I think we'll
    have to either change the script names or directory names,
    or put the scripts in a subdir of their own.

    The zip of 0.14.1 can't be fixed, so should I remove it so
    that it can't be downloaded?
