This has nothing to do with case-insensitivity. AnsiCompareStr (case
sensitive) and AnsiCompareText (case-insensitive) use the registered
(wide)string manager to compare strings. That mean that on linux, for
example, the results are different when cwstrings is used.

CompareStr (case sensitive) and CompareText (case insensitive) just
perform a binary-compare, which is always the same but doesn't take the
encoding in account...
