OK, I promised to do it so I did not give up. However I made it configurable.
So you can now turn case sensitivity off using the 'caseSensitivity=false'
boolean value within config.xml or using the /ignoreCase command-line
parameter. While (as usual) the command-line takes precedence.

I still set the default value to caseSensitivity=true (which means WPKG
operates case-sensitive). I hope you're fine with an option to switch to case
insensitive. I just think that if you're able to handle it properly you should
not rely on such a "hack". Especially since WPKG will print quite usable debug
log to find packages/profiles which are wrongly referenced.

An updated version (pre-release) of WPKG is available within Bugzilla (see Bug
79).

Here are the relevant parts from the Changelog:

NEW: Added /ignoreCase switch which allows to disable case sensitivity of
         packages and profiles. Therefore you can assign the package "myapp" to
a
         profile while only a package "MyApp" is defined within the packages.
         Note that this change requires modifying of the package/profile/host
nodes
         read from the XML files. All IDs are converted to lowercase.
         Please note that this is a kind of one-way switch. Removing the switch
         later will cause all packages which use uppercase characters to fail
         looking up the local package node (which is stored in lowercase only).
         Fixes Bug 81.


Setting to fixed.
