[ic] change_pass with ignore_case

[interchange-users@icdevgroup.org (Mike Heins)]

Quoting Mike Weisenborn (mw@clearbuilt.com):
> We're running Interchange 4.8.5 and just recently launched our first
> Interchange site. We've been very pleased with the software, and I'd
> like to thank everyone who has been involved in its development.
> 
> We are using the userdb function change_pass along with the ignore_case
> option (specified in our catalog.cfg). As far as I can tell, the
> change_pass function does not honor the ignore_case option, and this can
> lead to confusing behavior for the user and possibly even to disabling
> an account (if the user sets his/her password to something with capital
> letters then the login function will never match that password, because
> it will always lowercase the password before testing).
> 
> I've included the patch we used to fix the problem (for us). I have not
> done extensive testing of the patch outside of our normal operating
> environment, but it appears to have very little chance of affecting
> anything else because of its very limited scope.
> 
> If we've overlooked something that we should have known which would make
> this patch redundant or if the patch has other problems I would
> appreciate any feedback.
