WRONG

CONCLUSION:
	Extreanous flags should not be added to utilites when there
already exists a perfectly good utility to perform that function.

	"sort -fu" caused some confusion.
	the output from "sort -f | uniq" is self explanatory.

	What you prbably want is :

	... | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]" | sort -f | uniq | ...
