Hi,
when compiling MuPDF 0.9 I tracked the folowing issue related to SFN/
LFN. Authors of makefile building tools are relying on preserve of
filename case - 100% case sensitivity when they use cmapdump.exe tool
that generate some charmaps from multiple files to single file
containing array constants names by files taking a * wildcard. Other
source file is linked to this names and as you know the C is 100% case
sensitive and here you see the birth of evil.

As we know, when filename match the rules of SFN on FAT32 it doesn't
need to have a LFN entry. Out beloved M$ cannot decide itself how to
handle it so they use uppercase on Win9X system and lowercase on WinNT
systems to make us have a fun. I need to enforce uppercase behavior.
It seems to work this way for Mingw console programs but not for DOS
LFN aware programs. Is there some flag in crt0 for functions parsing
argv[] to uppercase SFNs without LFN entry?
Example, I have this files:
"78-EUC-H"           (SFN)
"78ms-RKSJ-H"    (LFN)
"Roman"                (SFN+LFN)
And I want to get in argv[] this names with unchanged case (instead of
I'm getting "78-euc-h")
Is it possible to solve it on both Win9x and NT systems?
