This is for MSDOS/OS2/WIN32/ATARI only as far as I can tell -- do we
know that tolower() works as expected on these architectures?  What
problem is caused by the current behaviour?  I think it would be nice to
establish that first.

This changes strlwr(), it would be good to audit all usages of it to
understand impact of a change.
