[Dovecot] Caseless folder delivery?

I'm using exim4 to deliver into dovecot 1.1, and using plus-addressing to 
deliver mailing lists directly to appropriate folders in my "lists" mailbox. 
  I created a file called /folder-map.lists that looks like

## folder-map.lists
dovecot: Dovecot
lpedge: Linux PowerEdge

... and so on.  So mail to lists-lpedge at jay.fm goes to the "Linux PowerEdge" 
folder.

The one annoying thing: I'd like to avoid creating explicit folder-map 
entries where the plus-address suffix is identical an existing folder name. 
  That *almost* works, but I like to name my folders with appropriate 
capitalization, and deliver doesn't seem to have a way to do "caseless" 
delivery.

For instance, ideally, I wouldn't have to create the "dovecot: Dovecot" 
entry; mail to my lists-dovecot at jay.fm address would go into the "Dovecot" 
folder.

I can't figure out how to do this.  Is there a way to do that using deliver? 
  Could there be?  Relevant portions of the exim configuration follow. 
(And, p.s., am I using the new -a and -m options correctly?  Are they used 
for anything yet?)
