The PPD files generated by ppdc always have a lower case name regardless of what PCFileName is set to in the .drv file. PPD files on Mac OS X are almost always named with mixed case.

ppdc should be changed to either respect the case used in PCFileName, or have a switch to enable it.

Fixed in Subversion repository.

The upcoming 1.1 release of the DDK will only convert the PCFileName to lowercase if the extension is uppercase, i.e. ".PPD". Otherwise, it will use the name as-is.
