-  Fixes a directroy name so that can be used by open()
+  Convert a directory name to a format which can be compared as strings
 
-  SYNOPSIS
+  @param to     result buffer, FN_REFLEN chars in length; may be == from
-    unpack_dirname()
+  @param from   'packed' directory name, in whatever format
-    to			result-buffer, FN_REFLEN characters. may be == from
+  @returns      size of the normalized name
-    from		'Packed' directory name (may contain ~)
 
- IMPLEMENTATION
+  @details
-  Make that last char of to is '/' if from not empty and
+  - Ensures that last char is FN_LIBCHAR, unless it is FN_DEVCHAR
-  from doesn't end in FN_DEVCHAR
+  - Uses cleanup_dirname
-  Uses cleanup_dirname and changes ~/.. to home_dir/..
 
-  Changes a UNIX filename to system filename (replaces / with \ on windows)
+  It does *not* expand ~/ (although, see cleanup_dirname).  Nor does it do
+  any case folding.  All case-insensitive normalization should be done by
+  the caller.
