Backport #2257: pathname doesn't accept different cased roots in windows

• Status: Rejected

=begin
c:/ruby18/lib/ruby/1.8/pathname.rb:709:in `relative_path_from': different prefix: "c:/" and "C:/dev/ruby/rubygems" (ArgumentError)

(that's not a real error)

Fails on
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-03-31 patchlevel 368) [i386-mingw32]

Works fine/well on 1.9 though.

Backport to Ruby 1.8 is only security issues now. [ruby-dev:47201]

So this issue is not acceptable now.
