Oh? Never mind, if I remember right there can be strupper() on the incoming 
sample of the file extension. Same thing would solve the .def extension case.

It's already lost, if that DOS 8.3 path convention has been applied to it by 
the OS. That's why TCC sees a C when the file is a c. I can fix this in my 
copy, soon. I advocate that fix on a general level though. I doubt that many 
people really favour C as a C++ file when there are at least FIVE other ways to 
specify such files with little risk of ambiguity and typographical error. 
Comparing what GCC's man page says for C, C++ and Fortran, the naming 
conventions are a mess anyway, so I think this is a step toward being clearer.
