Hadn't thought of that. Are they still used by the DJGPP port?
Anyway, I wasn't really going to suggest deleting them (hey, it's
more work than just leaving them alone), just saying that I see
removal as a likely fate for them.
Renaming .s to .S is okay but we still better not rely on the correct
case as on case insensitive file systems unzip programs may not
respect
the case.
That's actually a good point, though I guess the only platform where
we need to worry about this is DOS, which converts all filenames to
uppercase.
I do remember fun times with C source files being called .C and being
passed to the compiler that way, with hilarious results. Good times...
