[Zope] Handling of wrong URLS

Hello,

I'm in the process of porting plain HTML pages to Zope.  The bad thing
is that the creators of the pages had the bad habit to spell their
URLs with capital letters.  Example:

      http://www.our-ugly-site.de/THIS/IS/AN/EXAMPLE.HTM

I want to get rid of this and will replace it by:

      http://www.our-nice-site.de/this/is/an/example.htm

But if users have bookmarks or something else they can not reach our
new nice pages and so I wonder, if I could render a more informative
page than

      Site Error

      An error was encountered while publishing this resource.

      Resource not found
      Sorry, the requested resource does not exist.

      Check the URL and try again.

      Resource: http://www.our-nice-site.de/THIS/IS/AN/EXAMPLE.HTM

At first I could place a hint to the new convention.  At second I
wonder if I would implement a little script which converts the
URL into lower case letters and suggest to try this one.

Any idea how to do this?

Kind regards

         Andreas.
