lowercasing file names

Very bad things. No seriously, it will overwrite the old file. If you didn't 
want it to do that, you'd have to check to ensure the file didn't already 
exist before performing the mv operation. For my particular purposes, I 
didn't have to think of that because I knew that wouldn't be the case.
