ClassLoaderFactory lowercases jar filenames

           Summary: ClassLoaderFactory lowercases jar filenames
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.27
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: gbenson@redhat.com


When org.apache.catalina.startup.ClassLoaderFactory.createClassLoader() reads
the contents of the packed directory it lowercases the filenames.  This breaks
if you have a case-sensitive filesystem -- if it finds a file named
"MySQL-JDBC.jar" then it will attempt to add it to the classpath as
"mysql-jdbc.jar", which causes the getCanonicalPath() call later in the function
to fail.
