Well, we have the lower case tag point to the lower case version
and the upper case tage point to upper case version. The tarballs
are lower case, I've updated the docs on the web to be upper case
- I've also installed the PDF, so the link to them is no longer
broken.
If people ask why there are two tagged versions with a slight difference
we can say that the lower case tags point to the tarball version.
Why are there two versions? - Well, that's a secret....

Well, this sceme was adopted 'ad hoc' but until we have a better sceme
we should stick to it. If everybody just does what he likes things
will get a little messy over time ;-)
