#163 Non-portable paths in code base

[Ben Huntsman]

Several files in the source code for CDE have case conflicts. This prevents porting to systems which have case-preserving but not case-sensitive filesystems. In particular, this also causes problems while checking out the repository on systems such as Mac OS X.

The following files have conflicts:

Some of them are not a problem, but others, such as cde/programs/dtappbuilder/src/include/ab_private/AB.h and cde/programs/dtappbuilder/src/include/ab_private/ab.h are.

A careful solution needs to be considered that is respectful of the history of the code base, and also leads to the least amount of change. I would propose that the upper-case files be renamed with an underscore prepended, for example AB.h --> _AB.h. Exceptions to this would be in cases where the upper-case name is referenced more frequently in other code or where the files are duplicates.

I will submit a merge request as a proposal for resolving.
