[cp-patches] RFC: Remove lowercasing of Windows paths

[Roman Kennke]

Hi,

Ingo found a bug in the Windows path handling. In the PlatformHelper
class we lowercase all Windows paths. This is kind of naive and
shortsighted, because paths are not only file system paths, but can also
be paths inside JAR files etc, which actually ARE case-sensitive.

Ok to commit?

        (toCanonicalForm): Remove lowercasing of paths in Windows. This
        breaks working with URLs, like when accessing files withing JAR
        files.
