[LLVMdev] [cfe-dev] Unicode path handling on Windows

[Nikola Smiljanic]

I tried to do the conversion to lowercase inside GetFullPath by adding an
additional bool parameter to this function. It's not perfect but seems much
better than repeating the whole UTF8 to UTF16 and UTF16 to UTF8 conversion
again. The problem I have is with access to CharLowerBuffW. I need Windows.h
for this function but when I try to include it I get a bunch of errors
because Language Extensions are disabled, /Za switch. Do I just enable them
and include Windows.h inside and #ifdef section?
