The question rises whether Pascal is written with an uppercase "p" or not

So, gpc expects an uppercase "p". On the other hand:
- ada, fortran and c are written in all lowercase (see the man pages for gcc) - gdb writes Pascal lowercase - gp writes "--pascal=OPTION" lowercase.
Because of this, it came to a surprise to me that --language=pascal didn't work (and it took me some time to find out that --language=Pascal did).
Well, since Pascal is a proper name, not an acronym, the uppercase letter is actually correct. (The same would be true for Ada, but that's not our business.) So I think gdb and gp are wrong. I'll change gp (to accept both ways).
