Linux file systems are case sensitive. :(

It works really well, and much more flexible being able to draw arcs. I was
really impressed with the drawing speed in the demos.

Yeah, that was a Linux-only bug in KEGS, fixed in KEGS 1.19. Linux always
has case-sensitive filesystems, and KEGS was using the wrong subroutine
to check for ".po" extension, so it ignored case on Mac, but not on Linux.
