I've pushed another version to launchpad ( lp:~bwy/+junk/gnash-devel )
that uses a second index of case-insensitive keys. This has the same
behaviour as before, and keeps all changes internal to PropertyList.

The branch also uses string_table::key for DisplayObject names.

Together the changes speed up the swfdec testsuite run, which I've been
using as a rough benchmark, consistently by about 10 seconds, or 3%.

A possible memory and maintenance optimization would be to have a
special caseless map just for objects in SWF6 and below instead of
always storing an extra key. It would save sizeof size_t bytes per
property and make the code cleaner, but needs better testing of mixed
versions.
