It's a quite minor problem, but I think it's not by mistake that the 
only programming language
that I know (quite spread) that is case insensitive is Visual Basic.
It's just wrong imho, because case can really help to spot different 
things, when you leave
the user choose what it wants than everyone that reads the code waste an 
extra amount
of time trying to figure out what the hell that is.

CMake is a small language and it's not a big deal, and probably it can't 
be changed, so it's fine..

Well I just meant overwriting something that you're not supposed to, and 
that is used by cmake
internally for some other important things.
But I guess it's not so easy because the names are starting with 
CPACK/CMAKE..
