We needed this on 1.4, I'll add to 1.5 later tonight, and I'll refactor
once again for the //Machine/Share/ syntax later (since we believe it
can also fall out of case-synchronization).

//Machine/share might have similar issues, but not this specific one as Windows doesn't allow setting the current directory to a UNC share.

(The share name can be case sensitive depending on which server architecture you use (E.g. Samba). The machine name is mostly case insensitive)
