Hi,
While locale dependent string comparison and searching functions are
fine for many purposes, in some areas it is more important to have a locale
independent behaviour.
Here is a module for case-insensitive string comparison. Used in GNU gettext
for half a year.
Objections? Comments?

character set (like on BeOS, where it is UTF-8, or on AmigaOS, where it
is ISO-8859-1), the functions in this file recognize only the ASCII

string; the other one can also contain non-ASCII characters (but then
the comparison result will be nonzero). */
