Looked into this, it looks possible to implement.  Wish me luck :)

realpath and getcwd on Windows systems do not actually report the
applicable directory, but rather a string that will !strcasecmp() with
the true directory:

I have a directory name, $dir, on my Win2K system (PHP 4.2.0), but it's
in all lower case, and I'd like to get the actual pathname including
the capitalizations: 

Both realpath() and dirname() only muck around with the $dir string and
don't hit the file system. Not only that, but getcwd() returns $dir
(sans capitalizations) after I've hopped over to it with chdir($dir)! 

My only solution to this point is to pop up a level and use
readdir(...) but this is wasteful, only giving me one level at a time.
Isn't there a REAL realpath() for windows? 

Thanks, 
Csaba Gabor
