With the support of PostgreSQL, several bugs have been reported about 
the fact that PostgreSQL and MySQL behave differently when querying the 
DB, simply because PostgreSQL is case-sensitive by default and because 
MySQL is case-insensitive by default.
This way, you can create the 'Bugzilla' and 'bugzilla' products on your 
installation running PostgreSQL, but MySQL will complain that this 
product already exists when trying to add the second one. This problem 
appears everywhere, from components to keywords.
So we have to make a crucial decision now:
Do we want Bugzilla to be case-sensitive or case-insensitive?
This decision will have strong implications in the future development of 
the Bugzilla code.
