In My Humble Opinion:
--------------------

libc should not make any arbitrary presentation decisions
when giving the user program file names from the system.
There is little point bloating libc just to make file name
case decisions that some user somewhere will want to over-
ride anyway.

It makes sense to do something systematic, like `\' --> '/'
if it can be seen as generally useful when porting programs
to djgpp but user interface is outside libc's domain.
