On Windows, at least, if you don't also get case canonized correctly for
existing files, then a number of operations can fail.

It would be nice if we had a function to do all the stuff that the
command line client's target conversion does...would a patch to that
effect be acceptable? I would think it would be a new function in
libsvn_subr\path.c that just does what that chunk of
svn_opt_args_to_target_array already does.

Of course, it's not that hard for C client programs to make a helper
function to do it also...but it might be more difficult for clients of
the bindings...I'm not sure.
