[jcifs] Case and Rename.

Mike,

Found a sort of esoteric bug...

if you try and rename one SmbFile to another SmbFile that differs only 
by case, the file gets deleted.

So, as an example:

	SmbFile src  = new SmbFile ("smb://server/share/file.txt");
	SmbFile dest = new SmbFile ("smb://server/share/File.txt");

	src.renameTo (dest);

Expected behaviour would be for the file to be renamed (such as 
smbclient does)... Looking at the renameTo function, I see exactly why 
it does what it does, but, ideally, is should allow the rename through.
