xemacs 21.5.26 and case-insensitive file systems

XEmacs on MacOS treats the file system case-sensitively, and deals  
badly with files that have spaces in their names (which are common  
here).  The major culprits in these bugs are:

  1) minibuffer completion of file name case;
  2) *shell* buffer completion of file name case;
  3) *shell* buffer completion of file names with backslash-quoted  
spaces;
  4) *shell* buffer tracking of the current directory when the  
directory has a space;
  5) shell-resync-dirs when the current directory has a space.

I've fixed 1, 2, and 3, below.  4 and 5 still elude me.

Someone really ought to grep the whole tree for "completion-ignore- 
case" and "windows-nt", because there are incorrect assumptions  
hardcoded in several places.

Thanks,
