[qmtest] are test names really lower case?

No, actually; it came from a requirement that test databases be fully
portable across operating systems.  On Windows, upper-case names would
be the same as equivalent lower-case names, when using files to store
the tests.

Getting around this issue was why we added support for other label
classes in later versions of QMTest.  We didn't change the default
because that would have been an incompatible change, but maybe we
should.
