Well, and then I found this in the Changelog:
2009-11-12 Peter Clifton * pcjc2 AT cam dot ac dot uk *
* src/draw.c, src/hid/common/flags.c, src/hid/gerber/gerber.c,
src/hid/png/png.c, src/hid/ps/ps.c, src/print.c: Use strcmp() for
special layer names, rather than strcasecmp() Before commit
086aa491fae18f1ec72da047b772fa3510f72d0b, we were
using strcmp() and strcasecmp() in different places. That commit
changed to strcasecmp(). Lets choose to keep the more restrictive
option for now, which reduces the number of "magic" layer names PCB
supports.
Looks like coding simplification is favoured over user friendliness. OK,
scratch that idea of a patch.
Markus
