Especially since MySQL has different table-name-case-changing behavior on 
Windows and Unixen - so the result of a "create table MixedCaseName" will 
be different on different platforms..  (It's useful if you have code that 
tries to grok the existing schema to see if it is present and OK, or needs 
an install or upgrade).
