Meaning that, if we go with #1, we should make sure we are not doing 
case-insensitive comparisons in gdb unless it is clearly stated we 
should do it (like handling of Windows paths i suppose).

For the record, i think #3 is not acceptable and we don't seem to have a 
good justification for keeping the behavior of #2 other than "we've been 
doing this since ...".

So i think #1 would be the best. I just wanted to point out we may want 
to make sure there are no other gdb places with the same undocumented 
behavior.

Does that make sense?
