Subject:	Downcasing pathnames under LFN

I think that under LFN, the default should be to not automatically 
downcase pathnames we get from the OS, as people seem to want the case to 
be preserved.  If I'm correct, then the following library functions 
should be fixed:

	getcwd, _file_tree_walk, srchpath, readdir, 
	__crt0_setup_arguments

Maybe the handling of _CRT0_FLAG_PRESERVE_UPPER_CASE should be also 
different under LFN?

`glob' looks at the pattern and, if all the characters there are 
lower-case, decides to match case-insensitively.  I wonder if that is 
correct for case-preserving OSes.
