Details:

"canonicalize_file_name" does not return the correct capitalization of parts
of the path that are longer than 8 characters.

E.g. if there is the path "C:\ProgramData\Intel",
canonicalize_file_name('c:\proGramdaTa\iNtEl') returns
"C:\proGramdaTa\Intel".

Reading up on it, this might be an easy fix on partitions that store short
file names. But it might be not worth the effort to fix this for partitions
that don't store short file names...
