Generally +1, but a couple of comments:

* This seems to be still mostly NetBSD code, so I think you need to do
more than just credit them in an aside. Should we repeat the full
NetBSD copyright notice for this one function?

* This is still making unjustified assumptions about the behavior of
tolower/toupper. I think you probably want ASCII-only case folding,
ie use pg_toupper/pg_tolower. If it actually should be locale aware
then it's still wrong because it won't work in multibyte encodings.
Also you forgot the de rigueur (unsigned char) casts for ctype.h calls.
