Quake 1 linux can't load data files if they are uppercase.

1. # echo 'games-fps/ezquake cdinstall' >> /etc/portage/package.use
2. # emerge ezquake-bin
3. $ ezquake-gl.glx
Error: W_LoadWadFile: couldn't load gfx.wad
Actual Results:  
The game won't load until you rename the files.


Just rename every file in game's dir to lowercase.

    mv $name `echo $name | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`
done
