[Dovecot] Case insensitive user names

I am trying to set up the Dovecot pop3 server for some virtual hosting I am doing and it is going well,  I am generating a passwd file that points dovecot to the virtual users mailspool.  The only thing that I don't have working is that my current pop3 server (NTMail) has case insensitve usernames. Dovecot doesn't.  I was hoping there was just an option to turn on, but I didn't see one, and unfortunately I don't know enough C to change to lc($submitted_user) eq lc($database_user) like I would in perl :-)

I do have control over generating the passwd file, and it is currently generating the users to lowecase in the file, so just lc($submitted_user) eq $database_user would work well enough.  Unfortunately I don't know enough C to do that, so I thought I would ask if anyone has done this.

So, does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? 

Thank you,
