ezQuake version:
3.6-dev-alpha10-dev (fresh off github on 2022-02-17)

OS/device including version:
Fedora fresh install
Nvidia drivers
Steam version of Quake1

Describe the bug
Steam version of Quake1 is incompatible with ezQuake as ID1/PAK{0,1}.PAK is upper-case, ezQuake binary expects lower-case.
The error provided is Error: Couldn't Load gfx/palette.lmp, which is a file contained in the pak archives.

To Reproduce
Compiled on Fedora with development libraries as specified in documentation
Copied binary to ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Quake/
Changed directory to the steam Quake directory to launch.

Expected behavior
Launch without error, application should correct system upper/lower case if needed.

Additional context
This is a semi-common problem for linux users,
#330 h1z1 encourages users to rename pak files to lower-case, but the original source remains unchanged and no documentation exists to tell linux users (that I could find) not using nQuake, to rename/link directories to lower.

As a side-note, I messaged the development channel on discord and would be happy to write the documentation or a guide for linux users, I just need a little bit of guidance on how this is typically written.

Edit: I wonder if I jumped to conclusions, the same #330 does mention libpcre replacement as the solution, however I'm unsure of what the correct version is for Fedora. I don't see any libpcre errors on run -- however I didn't watch the build log that closely.
