--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
I would suggest using PathCchCanonicalizeEx for this, with
PATHCCH_ENSURE_IS_EXTENDED_LENGTH_PATH flag. It fits perfectly for the task,
except conversion of "/" into "\" - it does everything else, like removing "."
and "..", making sure the path has the "\\?\" in case when the mask is shorter
than 2MAX_PATH, but the found name would be longer ... but the problem is, the
function is supported since Windows 8, while our baseline is Windows 7 still.
