I'm not so sure in which scenarios the operators are used. In those
scenarios the caasecompare might be the right thing to do.
Btw., while playing with my patch, I found that setup has a bug.
I first thought this is my patches fault, but the current release of
setup already shows this behaviour:
Consider the cygwin package:
Installed: 1.7.34-004
Curr: 1.7.33-1
Test: 1.7.34-005
When I enter the chooser dialog, the "New" version is set to 1.7.33-1.
Now I click on the version number multiple times:
1.7.33-1 --click--> Keep
--click--> 1.7.34-005
--click--> Uninstall
--click--> Keep
Huh?
--click--> 1.7.34-005
--click--> Uninstall
--click--> Keep
Where's 1.7.33-1?
--click--> 1.7.34-005
--click--> Uninstall
--click--> Keep
Argh. Where does *this* occur? I guess the above needs fixing before I
apply any changes to the default selection :(((
