I forgot about this thread.  I knew I'd been thinking about this for a
few months, now I know why ;)

And likewise, I think you'd want a way to parse a path into its
components.

About the drives in Windows, java has a function somewhere called "get
roots" which on unix will give you "/" and on windows will give you
"C:", "D:", etc.  This makes sense to me.

But about the case sensitivity, I have no idea.  I agree that
something would be better than nothing.
