Alan, now reading the win version canonicalize(...), remind me what's 
the real purpose of doing
FindFirstFile/FindClose() here? the API appears to suggest it is used 
to find the first match if there

get the "real name" for case?
Casing and maybe 8.3 vs. long names but would need to dig into it to 
double check.
