If you want to convert the URL path to lowercase, the following directives will convert the first element of the path to all lowercase characters while preserving the rest of the path:
RewriteMap canonicalize int:tolower
RewriteRule /([^/]+)(.*) /${canonicalize:$1}$2
Another alternative for your [Ee]xchange problem:
RewriteCond $1 exchange [NC]
RewriteRule /([^/]+)(.*) http://10.41.63.12/exchange$2 [P]
ProxyPassReverse /exchange http://10.41.63.12/exchange
Be aware that ProxyPass directives are evaluated BEFORE rewrite rules. AFAIK you cannot rewrite and then have the rewritten URL ProxyPass'ed.
This will probably not solve your problem, but I hope it will at least give you some leeds.

Unfortunately no, the sample didn't appear to work. I think that you gave me another sample some time ago (/[Ee]xchange) which worked for the two cases but there is a little more behind the scenes that we are worried about. A little more detail on the rest of the problem. We have 25 share point portal service instances that we are proxing as well as Exchange. They work just fine for the most part. There are a set of complex legacy web pages that have hundreds of links in upper and lower case. This is the problem that we are truly trying to solve with case insensitivity.
So for that question, is there any way to force the case insensitivity for the entire string when doing a RuleRewrite.
As for the SSL, I think we will just throw a second apache instance on a second IP and then use that for SSL using a redirector. It's not an elegant solution but it should solve the general problem.

Does it work for you? If it does, leave it as it is. I do however suspect that the example you saw was was some Perl stuff.
Anyway, what are you trying to achieve with that particular directive?
I guess that the SSL stuff you mentioned is you priority. It would be nice if you gave sus omething more to work on.
Could you install Firefox/LiveHTTPHeaders, run your SSL scenario and post the LiveHTTPHeader output? If you can't, your access logs from the SSL virtual host would be the next best thing.

I found it in a sample somewhere. I'm not a regexp guy so I basically use what I can find. It's one of those things on my to do list but I haven't got to it yet.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is that tilde (~) stuff doing in the RewriteRule ??
RewriteRule ^/~/[Ee]xchange /exchange/ [R]
# This doesn't seem to work either
#RewriteRule ^/~/exchange/i /exchange/ [R]
