[MJAR-73] "mvn package" creates both lowercase "meta-inf" as well as uppercase "META-INF" directories

Description

I am getting started with Maven 2.06, just trying to precisely follow the BetterBuildsWithMaven.pdf instructions (2.6. Handling Classpath Resources). I am running on Windows XP SP2. When I execute "mvn package" and open the created JAR in Winzip, I see a "meta-inf" directory in addition to a "META-INF" dir. Since I'm on a Win32 OS, when I extract the files, however, I correctly see only the uppercase "META-INF" dir. I assume on an OS where file/dir names are case-sensitive (such as UNIX variants), this could cause problems (see bug MEAR-30). Even on Win32, it's definitely confusing, and should be fixed.

I have attached a screen shot of what appears in WinZip.
