Fail to read case-sensitive shapefile names

[alexandre.leroux@…]

OGR fails to read the shapefile.PRJ associated to a shapefile.shp file on Debian Linux.

The workaround is simply renaming the ".PRJ" to lowercase. OGR should read it whatever the case.

Similar issues no doubt exist with the .prj handling for gdal/frmts/aigrid, 
and gdal/frmts/aaigrid.

It may be suitable to consolidate the handling of this.

Fixed reading .prj and .PRJ on case sensitive file systems, in r10994

Added small improvements to latest fix:

Fixed reading upper-case .PRJ for gdal/frmts/aaigrid (r11002):
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/11002

Added new test case checking this fix:

As discussed with Frank, similar fixes for gdal/frmts/aigrid have been deferred.

I'm resolving the bug as FIXED.

Alexandre,
Please, verify and confirm if the fix for Shape works for you now.

I'm confident the fix will work. I have no control over the version that's installed on our computers (!!). Will try it with the next official release. Thanks for the fix! :-)

Alexandre,
I added new test case checking if OGR Shape reads .PRJ file correctly:
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/changeset/11018

The test passes, so I assume the bug has been fixed.

I submitted the fix to the stable branch 1.4 (r11223).
