RE: diglib: file names in libweb/diglib/

Good advice.

In addition, Unix systems do not allow '/' in file names.  Macintosh does not
allow ':'.  Windows does not allow '\' or several other characters, and allows
only a single dot (before the file type).  Stick to file naming conventions
that work on all 3 platforms.

Also, remember that Unix systems such as our web server are case sensitive,
but people typically are not (and are used to Windows and MacOS that are not
case sensitive in file names).  It's almost always a good rule that you should
stick to lower case ONLY in file and directory names that are being published
on a Unix/Linux web server.
