The first implementation of the main function of simulavrxx accepts all
variants of lower and upper case namings. But someone designed that out,
don't know why. The old solution was to convert all input chars to
lowercase and compare against a lowercase string. The solution is much
smaller than this discussion. It is very nice to read that kind of
academic mails here :-) I use the old version of main, all newer ones
brake my environment :-)
