   Well, the patch proved itself stable, and it is in Debian.  It is
   up to the CMU crew to accept it or not in 2.1, now.

I'm kinda unhappy about the limited scope of the patch. It makes
usernames case-insensitive during delivery, but they're case-sensitive
everywhere else. I'm not sure this is a great idea.

Maybe a global switch of case-sensitive mailbox names would make more
sense (thus LeG+detail -> user.leg.Detail, and "LEG" could log
in). I'm not sure, though.
