I've made the string compares case insentive now.  It will be released

True, but the devices also have to be in the kernel headers (which is
where we snag these values from) so the pace of increase is actually
quite slow.  That being said this is a good idea for the future.

Gnome Pilot Reports should go to bugzilla.gnome.org, evolution specific
reports (like "doesn't sync completed status" and what not) should go to
ximian.

Currently I am the de facto gnome-pilot-conduits maintainer.
