C:
void main(void){ int c; while ((c=getchar()) != EOF) putchar (tolower (c)); }

perl: (I think)
perl -ne 'tr/A-Z/a-z/; print'

shell:
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'

A more interesting problem would be writing a driver that translates all
the names on the CD to lowercase transparently.  I can't quite do that in
my head. :)

If you want to actually rename the files (won't work on a readonly CD...)

$ for f in *; do mv -v $f `echo $f | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`; done

All these are from memory, and may be incorrect.
