Notes:
- Comparison is wrong under OS X, see lcl FileUtil.pas
- missing a note that files with broken UTF8 chars can not be read
  under Linux. Maybe add a note where the system encoding file routines
  are.
- ExtractRelativePath works Delphi compatible, but always case
  insensitive, so not useful under Linux.
