What would this fix?
This doesn't make apr_fnmatch use proper case folding, as that needs proper
UTF-8 processing and following locale rules.
The hack will make apr_fnmatch whatever is the current locale casing and
current chararacter encoding rules on the platform for our UTF-8 characters
in the log message. (Which are known to not always be strict utf-8). And
even there it ignores multibyte characters by handing them to tolower one at
a time.
This is just stacking undefined behaviour.
If you would first convert the characters back to the system encoding and
then pass things to apr_fnmatch it would be good enough for an 'svn'
implementation for me, but probably not for our libraries.
Like Ivan suggested: for our libraries we want strict behavior over all
platforms, no undefined behavior.
