+exports the filesystem to Linux as case-sensitive.
+
+One consequence of this is that special directories such
+as C<c:\\windows> may appear as C</WINDOWS> or C</windows>
+(or other things) depending on the precise details of how
+they were created. In Windows itself this would not be
+a problem.
+
+Bug or feature? You decide:

+
+This function resolves the true case of each element in the
+path and returns the case-sensitive path.
+
+Thus C<guestfs_case_sensitive_path> (\"/Windows/System32\")
+might return C<\"/WINDOWS/system32\"> (the exact return value
+would depend on details of how the directories were originally
+created under Windows).
+
+I<Note>:
+This function does not handle drive names, backslashes etc.
