Not necessarily; if the lisp file is accessed through a logical
pathname, for instance, the compiled file name will use the
platform-preferred case, which has arbitrarily been defined as upper
case for Windows.  Does the change in case actually cause a problem
for you?

I don't think this is a good idea.  They may not debug sbcl.exe
themselves, but if there is a problem that can only be replicated in
the field, it is intensely irritating not to have debugging symbols to
hand, and might prevent anyone else looking at the problem in situ to
have a chance to solve the problem.
