I thought we already did this correctly, so I'm surprised we ran into
this.
The host part is always case-insensitive. The local part is case
sensitive in cyrus (thus all the griping about leg+Foo not working)
and needs to be compared in a case-sensitive fashion.
(The local part isn't always case-sensitive, so other systems might do
things differently.)
This should go for all address comparisons internal. Explicit address
comparisons, like "address" or "envelope", the user is given a chance
to select a comparator and we should just use that comparator.

I think you're right, but before I make any changes, I want to make sure
that I don't break anything else.
Issues that come to mind:
- do we compare the entire addresses case-independently or just the
domain?
- should the same be done for loop control mechanisms (ie, comparing
envelope 'from' and envelope 'to', or comparing envelope 'from' and
:addresses)?
Any thoughts?
