As was the case in SR9, in SR10 node-ids are still returned in
uppercase, e.g. in the printout of various commands, or in the
environment variable NODEID, even if the node ids were defined
as lowercase.
This is inconsistent as SR10 is supposed to be case-sensitive.
It is very inconvenient if one has to take care of this in shell
scripts, or in the use of variant links with the $(NODEID) in it.
