libExtractor contains the lower_extractor which returns all keywords 
previously extracted in lower case.
So newer GNUnet/Extractor installations automatically insert all new 
content under lower case keywords, too.

GNUnet doesn't search for keywords but for keyword hashes.
A node that receives a search query for 
"afcc69d729fbf1d0a2af28ce44a23991" ("GPL") doesn't know that it is 
supposed to return files that also match 
"8d36179bbeb961aa7d8d73199f25a9b6" ("gpl").
