Seriously? You must be an annoyingly happy person if that's your biggest

It's a quite minor problem, but I think it's not by mistake that the
only programming language
that I know (quite spread) that is case insensitive is Visual Basic.
It's just wrong imho, because case can really help to spot different
things, when you leave
the user choose what it wants than everyone that reads the code waste an
extra amount
of time trying to figure out what the hell that is.
CMake is a small language and it's not a big deal, and probably it can't
be changed, so it's fine..
The only occasion where you can hide a CMake-defined variable is inside
a function(). Otherwise you *overwrite* it's value. And you often want
to actually do that (e.g. to set the output directories for executables,
libraries, archives etc.).

Well I just meant overwriting something that you're not supposed to, and
that is used by cmake
internally for some other important things.
But I guess it's not so easy because the names are starting with
CPACK/CMAKE..
