We do something similar.

Our current solution is to modify src/acl.c:aclMatchUser, and change a strcmp
to a strcasecmp.
I believe in Squid 2.5, they have included the '-i' operator for case
insensitive matching of username ACLs.

There would still be the issue with analyzing the file, since the logfile
records the username as entered. (One solution would be to pre-parse the
logfile, and convert all the entries to one case.)
