Well, that's no good.  :(

Thanks for the research.  It helps tremendously.

One easy way out of this situation would be to duplicate the GNU 
fnmatch() into fnmatch_icase().  I have not looked at the source code, 
so it may not be possible.  If it can be copied in, does anyone object?

I'll also look for a non-GNU function that may work.
