  <p>Given two file path strings with potentially different casing and slashes (<code>'\'</code> vs <code>'/'</code>), is there a quick way (that does not involve writing my own function) to normalize both paths to the same form, or at least to test them for equivalence?</p>
  
  <p>I'm restricted to WinAPI and standard C++. All files are local.</p>
