D - Import glitch

Since D is case sensitive, and Windows filenames are not, things get 
kind of odd when inconsistent case is used with import statements.

one.d:
import sdl;
import two;

void main()
{
    SDL_Init(...);
}

two.d:
import SDL;

void initVideo()
{
    SDL_SetVideoMode(...);
}

..\sdl\SDL.d(57): function SDL_Init conflicts with sdl.SDL_Init at 
..\sdl\sdl.d(57)

This will cause symbols to conflict with themselves when you try to 
compile it.  Using consistent case fixes the problem, but the error 
message isn't very intuitive.

I know. The most practical solution is to simply stick with lower case letters for module names.
