Summary: ConfigParser has_option case sensitive

Initial Comment:
In python 2.x ConfigParser.py has_option has the
following case-sensitive code:

	if not section or section == "DEFAULT":
		return self.__defaults.has_key(option)

whereas the rest of the module uses option.lower(). 
This means the DEFAULT section is case-sensitive but
other sections are not.

Attached is a patch to fix the problem in Python 2.2.
