vislcg3 -w capitalisation option

The vislcg3 -w option already outputs this:

in: JEG/jeg<prn>, out: JEG/JEG<prn>  
in: JeG/jeg<prn>, out: JeG/JEG<prn> 
in: jeG/jeg<prn>, out: jeG/jeg<prn> 
in: Jeg/jeg<prn>, out: Jeg/Jeg<prn> 
in: jeg/jeg<prn>, out: jeg/jeg<prn>

But we can't just look at the first and last character if the lemma is eg. an acronym, we have to look at the first lowercase character in the lemma (baseform):

1. in: bcg-vaksine/BCG-vaksine<n><m><sg><ind> out: bcg-vaksine/BCG-vaksine
2. in: BCG-vaksine/BCG-vaksine<n><m><sg><ind> out: bcg-vaksine/BCG-vaksine
3. in: BCG-VAKSINE/BCG-vaksine<n><m><sg><ind> out: bcg-vaksine/BCG-VAKSINE
4. in: Bcg-vaksine/BCG-vaksine<n><m><sg><ind> out: bcg-vaksine/BCG-vaksine
5. in: Bcg-Vaksine/BCG-vaksine<n><m><sg><ind> out: bcg-vaksine/BCG-Vaksine

so in 3. above, the first lowercase character is the 'v', if _that_ one is uppercased and the final one is, we uppercase. If that one is uppercased while the final one is lowercased, as in 5 above, we capitalise.
