woman case sensitive

[Roland Winkler]

Symptoms:

On my GNU linux system the command man is not case sensitive.
Executing `man -w -a UiL' gives

/usr/X11R6/man/man1/uil.1.gz
/usr/X11R6/man/man3/Uil.3.gz
/usr/X11R6/man/man5/UIL.5.gz

even though there is no man page UiL. Consistent with this, the
emacs command man "UiL" gives me the above three man pages. However,
woman says "No match". (Of course, normally I will type woman "uil"
which will give me the first man page only and I will miss the other
two.)

Is this a bug or a missing feature? I would appreciate if there was
at least an option to configure this. And I suggest that the default
value of this option should give the case-insensitive behavior of
the man command.

    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
