Actually, a question...why doesn't it suffice to simply call
strcoll() instead of mbstowcs() followed by wcscoll()?
I would expect that in the absence of the -i flag, none of
this would be necessary.  At the very least, it would make
sense to start with a strcmp(), and only fall back on the
expensive conversion and collation if the strings don't
compare equal.
