Summary:                    [patch] Asterisk case sensitive problem.
Description: 
I think all asterisk should be case insensitive cause I have seen this
problem in too many modules:
The config (in this case queues.conf) is loaded case sensitive, but the
CLI is case insensitive so we have a problem like this:
We have 2 queues named: Prueba and prueba they are loaded in memory case
sensitive:

eliel-laptop*CLI> queue show
Prueba       has 0 calls (max unlimited) in 'ringall' strategy (0s
holdtime), W:0, C:0, A:0, SL:0.0% within 0s
   Members:
      sip/eliel (Unavailable) has taken no calls yet
   No Callers
eliel-laptop*CLI>
prueba       has 0 calls (max unlimited) in 'ringall' strategy (0s
holdtime), W:0, C:0, A:0, SL:0.0% within 0s
   Members:
      Sip/eliel (Unavailable) has taken no calls yet
   No Callers

But when I try to get info from an especific queue like this:

eliel-laptop*CLI> queue show prueba
Prueba       has 0 calls (max unlimited) in 'ringall' strategy (0s
holdtime), W:0, C:0, A:0, SL:0.0% within 0s
   Members:
      sip/eliel (Unavailable) has taken no calls yet
   No Callers

eliel-laptop*CLI> queue show Prueba
Prueba       has 0 calls (max unlimited) in 'ringall' strategy (0s
holdtime), W:0, C:0, A:0, SL:0.0% within 0s
   Members:
      sip/eliel (Unavailable) has taken no calls yet
   No Callers

I always get one of the two queues info... I did a patch to make the
autocomplete of queue_show case insensitive but we are loosing some of the
great 'autocomplete' features like doing a:
'queue show PrUeBa' :-).

This problem is found again in chan_sip.c and other modules, my patch I
think shouldn't be applied, I think asterisk should load the config in a
case insensitive manner and don't allow to load sip peers like ELIEL and
eliel or queues like Prueba and prueba (discarding the lastone).

I think this issue is pretty much dead, now.  We are not going to make the
queue names case-insensitive.  The warning from the patch has already been
added to trunk.  Closing.
