mythlink and case of filenames

Hello.

short question, is there a way to convince mythlink.pl to generate only
lowercase symbolic links?

reason for this question is that i have some bad guide data where they cant
decide if a show should be uppercase in beginning of the name only or if each
word should be upper case.
this creates multiple similar folders with only a difference in case and i
don't like it

Something like this (untested) hack:

% diff mythlink.pl.orig mythlink.pl
27a28

54a56

225a228,233

should work?
