        && request->path[0] != '/') /* not an absolute path ?? --> fix it !! */

In this code snippet it feels wrong to have this string comparison depend on the system 
locale, which in Wine's case would come from the user's Unix locale. 
Isn't this a case where LOCALE_INVARIANT would be better?

However I have not found a case where this makes a difference anyway, 
either with 'http:' or with 'file:'. That is, 'file:' always matches 
'FILE:', even in Turkish, as long as I don't use NORM_LINGUISTIC_CASING. 
Conversely, 'fîle:' is different from 'FILE:' no matter what.

Once I have a CompareString() test-case I can make some for UrlIs(), 
PathCreateFormURL(), possibly ShellExecute(), etc.
