        if [ "$MUNGE_CASE" = "yes" ] ; then
                ARG="`echo $ARG | tr a-z A-Z`"
        fi
...
MUNGE_CASE=yes
while [ "$1" != "" ] ; do
...
        --keep-case|-k)
                MUNGE_CASE=no
                continue
                ;;

So perhaps use -k when using that script to enable one of the rare
config options that contains a lower-case letter.
