I already did for similar reasons.  It doesn't recurse directories and
it renames ALL files (not just .exe), but it does work.

[- perl script -]
# This script will take files names that are in
# capital letters and convert them to lower case
# letters.  I'm going to use the easy way.  Copy
# the file to a temp file, delete the original,
# then copy the temp file back to the original
# file name in lower case letters.

use File::Copy;

$PathToFiles = $ARGV[0];

chdir($PathToFiles);
@FileNameList = glob("*.*");
foreach $FileName (@FileNameList) {
	$FileNamelc = lc $FileName;
	copy("$PathToFiles\\$FileName","$PathToFiles\\$FileName\.tmp");
	rename("$PathToFiles\\$FileName","$PathToFiles\\$FileNamelc");
	unlink("$PathToFiles\\$FileName\.tmp");
	print "$FileName renamed to $FileNamelc\n";
}
[- /perl script -]
