Makefile.package.in: optimize UPPERCASE macro
As noticed by Thomas, we call the UPPERCASE macro a lot, and it slows down startup quite a bit. Optimize it by implementing it in make, rather than forking a shell + tr. The implementation is heavily based on the 'up' macro from gmsl (http://gmsl.sf.net) With this in place, startup time is ~5 times lower. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
