Mike,
Actually the wildcard expansion in Unix is done by the shell, not by the individual utilities. So you will need to hack bash to get case insensitive expansion.

Those are good suggestions, but they give me even more reason to believe
ls with case insensitivity is something that people would use, and it
would not be all that hard to make ls insensitive. Insensitivity is
implemented in 'locate', therefore, people must have wanted it.
Maybe the problem is that ls already has -i and -I options! We need a
different letter and we're almost out of letters.
