/**
 * Compares two paths.

 * <ul>
 * <li>On DOS-like platforms, both separator chars (|\| and |/|) are considered
 *     to be equal.
 * <li>On platforms with case-insensitive file systems, mismatching characters
 *     are uppercased and compared again.
 * </ul>
 *
 * @returns @< 0 if the first path less than the second path.
 * @returns 0 if the first path identical to the second path.
 * @returns @> 0 if the first path greater than the second path.
 *
 * @param   pszPath1    Path to compare (must be an absolute path).
 * @param   pszPath2    Path to compare (must be an absolute path).
 *
 * @remarks File system details are currently ignored. This means that you won't
 *          get case-insentive compares on unix systems when a path goes into a
 *          case-insensitive filesystem like FAT, HPFS, HFS, NTFS, JFS, or
 *          similar. For NT, OS/2 and similar you'll won't get case-sensitve
 *          compares on a case-sensitive file system.
