Subject: [PATCH] lib: write: improve key collation compatibility with Windows
There are multiple problems with using strcasecmp() for ordering registry
keys:
(1) strcasecmp() is influenced by LC_CTYPE.
(2) strcasecmp() cannot implement case conversion for multibyte UTF-8
sequences.
(3) Even with LC_CTYPE=POSIX and key names consisting solely of ASCII
characters, strcasecmp() converts characters to lowercase, for
comparison. But on Windows, the CompareStringOrdinal() function
converts characters to uppercase. This makes a difference when
comparing a letter to one of the characters that fall between 'Z'
(0x5A) and 'a' (0x61), namely {'[', '\\', ']', '^', '_', '`'}. For
example,
'c' (0x63) > '_' (0x5F)
'C' (0x43) < '_' (0x5F)
Compare key names byte for byte, eliminating problems (1) and (3).
