Add case-insensitive option

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I use another tool that produces uppercase tagnames for XPaths. I would love an 
option in firepath to use case insensitive tagnames so that for example //div 
//Div and //DIV produce the same result.

Thanks for reporting this.

Apparently Firefox will automatically lower case all tags inside html documents 
and because XPath is case sensitive, this feature would make a lot of sense. 

However I need to make sure it is not case insensitive for xml and xhtml 
documents because in this case Firefox keep the original case of the tags and 
it matters when evaluating the XPath expression.

I made the necessary changes and committed them to trunk at revision r26.
Now when evaluating an XPath expression on a HTML document it will be case 
insensitive.
It is still case sensitive for XML documents.
