Crontab syntax highlighting doesn't work properly when day/month names are not lowercased

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The crontab syntax file only highlights day and month names properly if they 
are lowercased, but the match should be made regardless of case. According to 
the Vixie cron manpage [1]: "Use the first three letters of the particular day 
or month (case does not matter)."

The syntax file used to ignore case (c.f., 0877b8d6370e) but was reverted 
(accidentally?) when spell-check support was added in 1b584a6f446c.

Please report the problem to the maintainer of the file. He will update the 
syntax file and send an updated file to Bram for inclusion. Closing.
