[racket] quack qunundrum

Although Windows path and file names preserve case, comparisons are
not case-sensitive.

This looks like a bug with the -S / --search command line parameter in
the Windows version.

WINDOWS
----
c:\Users\Greg>racket -i -q -S C:/Users/Greg/site/geiser/scheme/racket
-f c:/Users/Greg/site/geiser/scheme/racket/geiser/startup.rkt

Welcome to Racket v5.0.2.
c:/Users/Greg/site/geiser/scheme/racket/geiser/startup.rkt:21:9:
geiser/user: standard-module-name-resolver: collection not found:
"geiser" in any of: (#<path:C:\Program Files (x86)\Racket\collects>)
in: geiser/user


 === context ===
standard-module-name-resolver
C:\Program Files
(x86)\Racket\collects\errortrace\errortrace-lib.rkt:398:2:
errortrace-annotate
C:\Program Files (x86)\Racket\collects\errortrace\errortrace-lib.rkt:441:4

'(#<path:C:\Program Files (x86)\Racket\collects>)

Notice how current-library-collection-paths does not return the path
supplied by the -S argument. Shouldn't it?


Trying similar on OS X is as-expected:
current-library-collection-paths returns the path.

I'll post a fresh message narrowing this down.
