I thinks this should work.  Can you test it?

(define-coding-system-alias 'utf8 'utf-8)
(define-coding-system-alias 'UTF8 'utf-8)

I think if this is to be fixed, it's in Emacs
(lisp/international/mule-conf.el).  I don't know if it's been discussed
before (I did a search, no results except for some BBDB issues) so I'm
CCing emacs-devel as well.  The fix seems reasonable to me as a user
convenience.  It's very unlikely it will cause problems.  But I don't
know for sure, so please tell me if I'm wrong.

Ted
