Preserve case of sources (light.exe) #4577

Currently light.exe will look for sources by their upper-case names, i.e. "demo.exe" searched for as "DEMO.EXE".

This is somewhat problematic when the files are located on a network device running Linux/SAMBA, since Linux is case-sensitive while Windows is not. Hence, light.exe will sprout an error about not being able to find a file (doesn't say which file).

Since Windows is case-insensitive it would be nice if light.exe preserved case as stated by the .wxs (and later .wixobj) files.
