It will have to be a new API -- normcase() at least is *intended* to return a case-flattened name on OSes where case-preserving filesystems are the default, and changing it to look at the filesystem would break too much code. For a new use case we need a new API.
realpath() sounds like the proper API for that. It just needs to have a better implementation :) Regards Antoine.
