OTOH, the lowercase form has been in use in the AVR-GCC toolchain all
the time, and the compiler only accepts it as lowercase.  But of
course, I wouldn't mind if other tools accepted it in any case.

AVRDUDE only offers that as a shortcut alias.  It accepts the long
name as well, and it is case independant when accepting the name.
