Title: `helm-find-files' should ignore case while matching path/file name on Wi...

...ndows system

Hi Thierry,

I've found that the matching in `helm-find-files' is "smart", which makes sense in nix system, however, this behavior is very inconvenience in Windows system because you know in Windows system file names are NOT case sensitive. Let's say I want to find a file in the directory "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual C++/" if I type "c:/pro", I get expanded to "C:/Program Files/" which is perfectly fine, however, since there is a upper case letter ("P") in the pattern now, matching becomes case sensitive, and I have to type "Microsoft" instead of "microsoft".

I have changed this behavior and have submitted a pull request. Please feel free to change the implementation if you think you could have a better implementation.

Thanks,
York
