Camera property identifiers #3

Every camera manufacturer has its own way writing camera property ids. Examples:

Brightness can be written all in lowercase, uppercase or capitalized
White balance can be written all in lowercase, uppercase, the words capitalized or connected with underscore or white space.

This introduces a problem for setters and getter, because one has to check all possible combinations in order not to miss the property.

Current solution which is in non4CAPI branch is to perform string matching which works most of the time. But there are even issues with that, because some manufacturers consider, auto and absolute flags of some property as separate properties too. That means if one has property Zoom, in reality there will be two properties Zoom, Auto and Zoom, Absolute. This is very stupid!
