The change of case is just a general renaming that we did at some
point in time. I do not think that the change you outline can be
responsible for problems with files that are found through latex.

Personally, I think we should do that. You should have a look at
/**
* Search a TeX file in all locations the latex compiler would search it,
* with the help of kpsewhich.
* The current working directory must be set correctly, so that relative
* names work.
* \param fil The filename to search
* \param format The file format as used by kpsewhich, e.g. "bib", "bst" etc.
*/
FileName const findtexfile(std::string const & fil,
std::string const & format);
which probably does what you want. It may make more sense however to
have a version that requires a reference directory as argument.
