[tex-live] filename clash [case] in tex4ht

The new version of tex4ht in TeX Live (checked in as rev. 3262)  
contains both

   texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex4ht/Arabicore.4ht
   texmf-dist/tex/generic/tex4ht/arabicore.4ht

The same case difference occurs in the \Hinput{...} line within the  
files; otherwise, they are identical.

Is there a need for these two files to exist, or is it an accident?  
The distinction will be lost on case-insensitive file systems, so it  
would be unwise for anything to depend on it.

In the case of the TeX Live repository, this situation creates  
Subversion checkout difficulties when using a working copy on a case- 
insensitive volume. Therefore, I'd like to delete one of the pair,  
unless this will break something else.
