This should work for bash:
------------------------------------
for i in * ; do
   lc=$(echo $i|tr [A-Z] [a-z])
   if [ $lc != $i ] ; then
      if [ -f "$lc" ] ; then
         echo "$lc already exists"
      else
         mv $i $lc
      fi
   fi
done
-----------------------------------

Just tested it. Seems to work.  Hope it helps,
