Thanks.  Patches are welcome to use this in rename-file.  I would
suggest a Darwin-specific version of string-equal that would compare
case-insensitively or case-sensitively as the volume requires that.
Then we could call that function from rename-file, like we do with
string-equal in the DOS_NT part there.
