On XP, os.path.samefile is really "os.path.abspath(x) == os.path.abspath(y)", which does not work correctly with different cases. We could add a ".lower()" to line 657 of Lib/ntpath.py so the abspath is always returned in lower, so the XP version of samefile compares two lower case strings.

On versions after XP, this isn't an issue.
