AW: [Mono-list] Platform comparison

I think, we shouldn't look at the shell32.dll but on the behaviour in =
System.IO.

Right, this is an *Explorer* bug. You can rename succesfully a "dot =
file" from the command prompt, from some save dialog boxes, and other =
apis that don't depend on the shell32.dll function SHRenameFile.

However, to stay compatible, Mono should reproduce the ms implementation =
on this. I'm sure there are applications out there applying workarounds =
in its code for fixing the issue, and it will need Mono to be consistent =
to work properly.

I think we need some test cases that try fileName =3D "a\\b"; fileName =
=3D "a" + "\\" + "b"; fn =3D Path.Combine(a, b); fn =3D a + =
Path.DirectorySeparatorChar...
fn =3D String.Concat("a", "\\"...
...
to ensure Mono behaves as the ms implementation.

Regards,

Gustavo
