    Thanks for all the VERY FAST responses everyone. As just about all the
    responses were variants of the same thing I'll be going with Paul's
    suggestion, I was about 1/2 way there in my feeble attempts at writing a
    bash script for this. I'll probably spruce it up a bit for more general
    usage as a general script to change case of file names.
