Seeing as GetFullPathName seems to do what we want, and
canonicalize_filename_mode doesn't, and we don't use
canonicalize_filename_mode anywhere else in PSPP, I suppose we
should just drop canonicalize_filename_mode entirely (and the
"canonicalize" gnulib module) and just use GetFullPathName
directly in fn_get_identity.
Do we still need canonicalize under unix? Should the gnulib
canonicalize function itself be a wrapper around GetFullPathName in
windows?

Or use strcasecmp in fn_compare_file_identities.
Sounds nicer. OTOH, if we push this up into gnulib, then gnulib based
software would have to be careful to use FN_STRCMP (where this macro
is defined appropriately on mingw and posix platforms) to compare
canonicalized filenames.
