The attached patch adds an option within the Advanced fieldset to make the redirect case insensitive so it behaves like Apache mod_rewrite's [NC] flag.

#1
I just remembered that MySQL string comparisons are case-insensitive by default, so this is really only applicable to PostgreSQL folks.
I suppose that leads to another question then: should the path lookups be done in a case-sensitive manner in MySQL? I think initially I compared this module to Apache redirects which are case sensitive, but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks.

I don't see any reason why we should be allowing case-sensitive redirections. Let's make the default behavior case-insensitive.
