You can follow FindFirstFile with calls to FindNextFile to loop
through all the files matching the pattern. This is mostly meant
for interpreting wildcards, but it will also find files whose
names differ only by case.

If you want to open a file in a case-sensitive way, pass the
FILE_FLAG_POSIX_SEMANTICS flag to CreateFile. You probably need
to do this in order to avoid opening "Foo" when asked for "foo".
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a right thing to do in
general. If you were really feeling keen, you could use FindNextFile
to see if there was more than one file matching the name. If so,
open case-sensitively; if not, ignore case. But this would make for
rather unpredictable behaviour. Best to make it an option in the client.
For GUI clients, the file-opening dialog should cope a lot better.
