Subject: etags: Downcase drive letters, for consistency with Emacs proper.
Date: Mon, 21 Feb 2011 22:12:04 -0800

Emacs downcases drive letters when canonicalizing file names on
Microsoft Windows, but etags upcases them.  etags should be consistent
with Emacs.  I found this problem by code inspection, because there's
a macro 'upcase' that normally isn't used in etags.c; its only use is
in the section of code that upcases drive letters.  Here's a proposed
patch.

	etags: Downcase drive letters, for consistency with Emacs proper.
	* etags.c (upcase): Remove; no longer used.
	(canonicalize_filename): Downcase drive letters.
