I've fixed this in SVN HEAD - if the extension isn't found and contains
upper case ASCII letters, then omindex will look for the lower-cased
version of it.  This allows you to differentiate extensions by case
but you can easily get case insenitive treatment by just setting the
lowercase version (as happens by default for the built-in mappings).
