The user degraff (Michel DeGraff) prefers to spell his name with a
capital G.  It looks like HR has his name with that capitalization (it's
correct in MITDir and on the LDAP server), but stafload changes it to
"Degraff", I'm guessing because of the automatic capitalization
correction.    

I'm wondering:

1) Is there a way to force the capitalization to stick in this case?

2) In the more general case, it might be worth changing the
   capitalization code so that it only kicks in if the name starts as
   all-caps.
