Right, since dir was written (20 years ago) it has always shown Windows
files in lower case and this is fine while Windows was case-insensitive so
"test.ijs" really is the same as "Test.ijs".

Also, we encouraged the use of lower case names in J so as to minimize
problems when code is moved between Windows and Linux. For example, if a
script is "Test.ijs" then "load 'test.ijs'" works in Windows but not in
Linux.
