This particular problem can be solved by adding "EL" to the
Lisp_suffixes array in etags.c. However, I don't think etags can be
made case-insensitive to file names in general, since foo.C needs to
be processed as C++ code, while foo.c should be processed as C code.
So I'd suggest to keep your file names in proper letter-case. Windows
is indeed case-insensitive, but it does preserve the letter-case in
file names.

If you have a program that generates UPCASED file names, try to
replace it with some other program, which does not.
