#864 SysFileTree under win32 matches on long & short file names

[jfaucher]

(see attached file)

Under win32 (and probably win64), call SysFileTree "*.odg", "files", "FO"
returns all the following files :
f.odga
f.odg1
.~lock.dlgArea.odg#

This is because the search made by FindFirstFile (and FindNextFile) includes the long and short file names (see MSDN).

I leave you decide if this is a bug or not (in my opinion, it's not a bug. But could be an RFE : match only on long file names)

It looks like there might now be a simple fix for this problem:

The gotcha is this might be the change that officially kills the ability to run on XP.

We really must add another option if we implement this. The current SysFileTree default behaviour is exactly how DIR behaves, so this should be kept.
If adding the match-on-long only behaviour is implemented with a new option that doesn't work on XP, we could conditionally compile this for Windows 7 and above only, or just document this as a restriction.

This should be fixed with the latest trunk
