case-sensitivity in sync_members and remove_members (PR#185)

Both the sync_members and remove_members have
case-sensitivity problems when deleting members.

My list members have capitalized names (e.g. Name.Surname@domain).
The command:
  bin/remove_members my-list <email address hidden>
does nothing, no matter how many times I run it, but:
  bin/remove_members my-list <email address hidden>
removes the member correctly.

The sync_members is trickier, it doesn't help to lowercase
the e-mail address in the file to be synced - it reports:
  Removed: <email address hidden> ( <email address hidden>)
and logs in the logs/subscribe:
  Jan 10 19:12:41 2000 my-list: deleted <email address hidden>
yet it does nothing - the member is still in the list
and the next invocation of sync_members tries to remove it again.

I had to change routine MailList.py\DoActualRemoval to
use string.lower(alias) instead of alias in performing 'del'.
The sync_members now does its job correctly.

Perhaps I should add that I used sync_members to create the
initial list of members.

I believe this is no longer a problem with Mailman 2.0
