Finally done in SVN r1576. Sorry for the delay.

For the filetype detection based on filename extensions, the basename
of the file will be converted to lowercase and then it will be compared
with the available extensions. Applies only for Windows systems.

This also means, that a file something.C will be opened as a C and
not as a C++ file in Geany on Windows. But I guess .C is rarely used,
so it shouldn't be a big problem.
