Mmmm, case-insensitive filename mattching is very difficult to
implement correctly, because a filename comparison rule depends on
filesystem.
The implementation of a rule requires kernel support. For example,
japanese MS-DOS filesystem has a different rule from english MS-DOS
filesystem, since japanese MS-DOS uses multibyte codeset for it's
filename.

How will we use FNM_CASEFOLD?
