bug#550: 23.0.60; A case where file-truename ignores case on w32

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

I got a bug report from a user concerning nXhtml. The problem seems to 
be that Emacs ignores case in an existing directory name. Here is my 
reply (I can reproduce the problem):

Yes, great, this information helps. It looks like there is a bug in 
file-truename. At least I expect the result here to be

  c:/Temp/in/hej.html

since you have a directory named "C:\Temp" with uppercase T. I will file 
a bug report.
