At first I had a horrible flashback for Borland TurboC programming
and DOSFindFirst() or whatever the function name was... then, when
the spasms stopped, I thought: "Wasn't that for wildcarding?"

Then, I realized: without cygwin, svn has no wildcard/globbing support
on Win32. If we were to use FindFirst/FindNext to do wildcard expansion,
we'd get the canonical names for free[1], wouldn't we?

This seems like The Right Thing To Do, for overall usability, *and*
to solve (some of) the case issues.
