I didnt have the time to run the patch and test it, but by looking at it, yes,
it seems like a great step in the right direction.

A general guideline to accomplish case insensitiveness inside windows and
proper case when dealing with native associations and mime types could be this:

- When winemenubuilder tries to find if windows ext exists in native system, it
should do matches like "for each ext in native-list do... if lower(ext) ==
lower(native) ... match"

- When writing to native system (.desktop or mime), use the same case as in the
registry... be it lower, upper or mixed case.

Last but not least... if you want to, i could try to write a patch myself... i
just want to hear your opinion on the subject. My programming skills are quite
limited, but i would gladly try to do that if you say "ok, i agree, go ahead"

Is this solution, about dealing with mixed case exts and mimes, something you
agree with?

Also, could you please also say what is your opinion about bugs # 28159 and
28160 ?
