multi-word abbrevs cases

Hi all,

XEmacs capability to handle multi-word abbrevs is a
nice feature. It's used for natural language
translations, as you might know. With German however a
difficulty shows up, as upcased words not only occur at
the beginning but throughout the text. This use needs
the case as defined, respecting mixed lower- and
uppercased abbrevs and expansions likewise. 

AFAIS case-handling in abbrev.c for now don't foresee
that use.

Relevant part maybe from line 369

  if (uccount && !lccount)

Thanks.
