bug#1137: 23.0.60; File name completion is case sensitive on w32

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

Despite that `read-file-name-completion-ignore-case' is t by default on
w32 file name completion is case sensitive. Try for example

  emacs -Q
  C-x C-f c:/d TAB

This will in my case match

  c:/dev

while an uppercase D (c:/D) will match other directories.
