[io] Filename case sensitive comparisons
I have added various methods to compare two filenames
- isExtension(filename)
- equals(filename1, filename2)
- equalsNormalized(filename1, filename2)
These compare case sensitive on Unix and case insenstive on Windows. Is this
OK with everyone?
I will fix the Wildcard method to do the same if no-one objects.

Looks good to me. Would it be worthwhile to add a method that answers
the question "are these filenames the same, but different in case?"?
This wouldn't be useful on Unix, of course, but sometimes in Windows
you care about the case. (For example, in a web app, WEB-INF *must* be
in upper case.)

Fine with me.
