Allow urls to be matched case insensitively

Description

We found that Wordpress's urls are case sensitive. This means urls will work like this:

  • /site/2008-10-09/
  • /site/2008-10-09/Tuesday/
  • /site/2008-10-09/Friday/

But not:

  • /site/2008-10-09/tuesday/
  • /site/2008-10-09/Tuesday/

we found where in the Wordpress core that causes this and with two minor changes we can make urls case insensitive.

this is less of a WP bug than it is of an Apache "feature". on non-windows systems, urls are case-sensitive. it certainly is a weird option, but it's they way it is

plus, making it case insensitive would also require to redirect to the "correct" url.

Not at all actually, The permalink handling is completely within WP, so..
