I want to use it for recursively handling LOCAL_CONFIG_FILE, and to
use it to avoid cycles. I'd rather check to see if they're the same file
instead of doing a strcmp (or stricmp) on the filename, since that's not
particularly great. 

On unix I'd probably just look at the file and check it's device and 
inode number, which is probably Good Enough(tm), but I have no idea what
I'd do on Win32.
