On that note (only works in Emacs 22):


(define-minor-mode caps-lock-mode
  "When enabled, all self-inserting characters will be converted to uppercase."
  :lighter " CapsLock"
  (if caps-lock-mode
      (local-set-key [remap self-insert-command] 'self-insert-upcased)
    (local-unset-key [remap self-insert-command])))

(defun self-insert-upcased ()
  (interactive)
  (insert (upcase last-input-char)))
