[jcifs] Equivalent for java.io.File.getCanonicalPath()

Hi,

I'm looking for a jcifs equivalent of java.io.File.getCanonicalPath(). 
Note that SmbFile.getCanonicalPath() does *not* do the same.

For instance, given a filename "a" on an NTFS filesystem, 
java.io.File.getCanonicalPath() will return "a" for each of

(new File("A")).getCanonicalPath()
(new File("a")).getCanonicalPath()
(new File("A ")).getCanonicalPath()

and so on... (alternatively I'd need a way to find out whether two 
distinct SmbFile objects refer to the same file on the remote filesystem).


Regards, Julian
