Add normpath(). Clarify normcase(). (Note -- this doc section

probably needs more work, describing new functions and the differences
between unix/mac/win.

Normalize the case of a pathname. This returns the path unchanged;
however, a similar function in \code{macpath} converts upper case to
lower case.
Normalize the case of a pathname. On \UNIX{}, this returns the path
unchanged; on case-insensitive filesystems, it converts the path to
lowercase. On Windows, it also converts forward slashes to backward
slashes.

\begin{funcdesc}{normpath}{p}
Normalize a pathname. This collapses redundant separators and
up-level references, e.g. \code{A//B}, \code{A/./B} and
\code{A/foo/../B} all become \code{A/B}. It does not normalize the
case (use \code{normcase()} for that). On Windows, it does converts
forward slashes to backward slashes.
