It depends on your Emacs version.

Starting with Emacs 22, see option `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case.

But in principle Emacs should do the right thing on your platform, without your
needing to do anything.  Consider reporting a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug',
providing information starting from `emacs -Q' (no init file).
