New Comment:
I don't think relative pathes make any sense in PATH=. IMO, absolute
only (and no UNC on Windows either :)

Not directly related to this bug, but could help to simplify the fix.
Do we need to support relative path in a section? [PATH=../../bar]
I do not see any sane usage for that (variables are more
powerful/predictable and are supported and are expanded by the parser).

A short discussion between Dmitry and me, it may be useful for other:
p: we use a hash to cache the settings, the keys come from the path
d: I think you should use virtual_file_ex()
p: that brings the issues about case insensitive filesystems
d: it should restore REAL case of the path
if it works we may use the same thing on all platforms and not only
windows (file systems may not be platform specific).

"But aren't there other case-insensitive filesystems..? For example
MacOSX has something like that..?"
Yes, a lot even. But it is going to be a pain if we have to manage all
of them.
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
A possible solution would be to behave what the PHP stream functions
do, comments?

And for the HOST sections this should propably be done always
regardless of OS.

Pierre, since you have a patch and also win32 build env available,
I'll assign this to you. But aren't there other case-insensitive
filesystems..? For example MacOSX has something like that..?
