A problem with case of filenames



Hi,

I have a huge and ancient application (a 200M source tree) that I want
to port to linux (something technical in fortran).
The most basic problem is the following: it was originally written on
VAX, and the  programmer/s refer to the various files from within the
sources in lower- upper- and mixed-case. No problem on a stupid VAX, but
enough to drive anyone working on UNIX crazy...
What I basically need to do is a. Turn all filenames to lowercase b.
Find all the references to any file within this source tree (includes
and such) and turn these to lowercase as well.
I still don't have the sources, so there's time to think about the
simplest way to accomplish that. I guess writing a perl script will be
inevitable, but I might be wrong (after all, people around here started
using perl instead of tail...). Your suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks,
Tuvik
