Re name casing for IBIS files

I believe solution number 2 from Paul, or the following statement from
Will both reflect what I believe is the best solution:

In other words continue the requirement that the file name be lower case
as written into the actual IBIS file. However IBISCHK2 should convert
the input file name to all lower case. This way if the user creates a file
on DOS and sends it to another operating system it will still work.

As far as users mixing up files like foo.ibs and FOO.ibs, the spec requires
lower case file names and the parser already enforces it. Therefore I
believe this fixes the problem and is consistent with our current specification.
