Simple globbing is case sensitive and I don't think it can be made
insensitive easily. What you can do is add another patter to your
filter. This way your "AVI Video Files" filter will have two patterns:
"*.avi" and "*.AVI".

For even more control, you can use custom filter function by calling
gtk_file_filter_add_custom().
