  Log:
  Strip out bogus difference from when this came from NetBSD: transliterating
  upper-case alphabetical characters to lower-case ones, and spaces to dashes.
  The person who added this when bringing the code from NetBSD has no idea why
  he added it, and nobody on freebsd-fs came up with any cases where the icky
  part (the conversion of spaces to underscores) was needed.  The removal of
  the upper-case conversion follows an even more obvious logic: it avoids any
  sort of namespace issues.  People using StUdLy caps for filesystem names
  deserve everything they get.  Otherwise, Efs and efs might be totally different
  things, but would use the same fsck.  And we don't want that, right?  That
  just provokes the sort of foot-shooting this would prevent.
  
  If you have problems with this, I'll walk you through using sed on your fstab,
  cause the only way you could have problems is if you spelled ufs as "UFS".
  Most likely, you haven't done that.
