[GRASS5] imagery sample data has duplicate case-sensitive filenames

(Not sure if it's OK to use the bug report form for a sample data  
issue, so I'll just use the list)

In the IMAGERY GRASS 5 and 6 sample data, there are files named  
'GROUP' and folders named 'group' at the same folder level, as well  
as 'SUBGROUP' and 'subgroup'.  This does not work on a case- 
insensitive (tho case-aware) file system such as HFS+ as is used in  
Mac OS X.

I believe GROUP is the old method that is now CURGROUP (changed in  
GRASS 5).  and similar for SUBGROUP.

Depending how the tarballs are expanded, a Mac user may be able to  
get something usable:

StuffIt Expander (v7): error, get nothing

Tiger BOMArchiveHelper (double-click): stops expanding at that error

TAR in Terminal: error but keeps going - you get the folders, but not  
the duplicate files (assuming the files sort after the folders in the  
tarball)
