it might be nice to downcase rather than upcase - seems weird, but
there's a couple of cases (German double S, French (France) accents)
where a downcase preserves information that upcase loses, if done
according to a native locale.

OTOH, you might want to lose that info, so that it compares better.

You won't run into trouble until someone starts using UTF-8 DNs with
strange characters, but why not.....

(does the ldap server run in a fixed locale, or is it "host's locale"?
strcasecmp is locale sensitive, I think)
