Do we really want to spend the cycles in filepath_get to normalize this

The dangerous thing I'm thinking of is when people think they can use
strncmp as a cheap form of "is this filename a child of parent-dir".
Although thinking about it harder, it's probably safer for that to fail.
Yup. Although the canonical form says "C:\Program Files\Apache", there are
good reasons for the user to want the shorthand path "c:\progra~1\apache"
since it doesn't suffer from whitespace-in-pathname issues.
