Hello all

Here it is a possible problem when using FindFile in XP.

A small sample code:

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	FindFile ff;
	if(ff.Search("c:\\*.for")) {
		do {
			puts(Format("Found file: %s", ff.GetName()));
		} while(ff.Next());
	}
	puts("Programa ended");	
	getchar();
}

If file list in c:\ is:
- RightFile.for
- WrongFile.fordoc
- WrongFile2.fordoc

Result is:
Found file: RightFile.for
Programa ended

But if file list in c:\ is:
- WrongFile.fordoc
- WrongFile2.fordoc
- zRightFile.for

The result is:
Found file: WrongFile.fordoc
Found file: zRightFile.for
Programa ended

It seems that the implementation of FindFile::Search() is ok but
handle = UnicodeWin32().FindFirstFileW(ToSystemCharsetW(name), w); does not work right, perhaps because it does not handle properly files with long extensions.
