+Summary: Reflection does not support case-insensitve binding
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+Type.GetProperty does not support case-insensitive lookup of property.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a source file with the following code :
+
+namespace Log4net.Test {
+
+	using System;
+	using System.Reflection;
+
+	public class EntryPoint {
+		public static void Main(string[] args) {
+			Type targetType = typeof(PropertyTest);
+
+			PropertyInfo propInfo = targetType.GetProperty
+("name", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public | 
+BindingFlags.IgnoreCase);			
+
+			if (propInfo != null) {
+				Console.WriteLine("OK");
+			} else {
+				Console.WriteLine("BUG");
+			}
+
+			return;
+		}
+	}
+
+	public class PropertyTest {
+
+		public string Name {
+			get { return this._name; }
+			set { this._name = value; }
+		}
+		
+	
+		private string _name;
+	}
+}
+
+2. Compile this source file to an exe
+
+3. Execute the exe
+
+Actual Results:
+
+"BUG" will be written to the console.  In the Main method, I'm actually 
+looking up a property called "name" in the PropertyTest class with a case-
+insensitive search (using BindingFlags.IgnoreCase), but apparently Mono 
+ignores this flag... Because it should have found the "Name" property.
+
+Expected Results:
+
+"OK" should've actually been written to the console, but it should've 
+found the "Name" property by looking up a property called "name" wih case-
+insensitive binding.
+
+The BindingFlags.IgnoreCase member has the following meaning :
+
+"Specifies that the case of the member name should not be considered when 
+binding."
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+Always
