[Cirilo Bernardo <cirilo.bernardo@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have attached a patch to the bug report:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1659027/comments/14

I have tested on Linux and Windows but more testing/comments
appreciated.

Bugs fixed:
1. Rejection of 3D files with upper-case extensions in Windows
2. non-ASCII path bug in fileType() function of 3D plugin
3. non-ASCII path bugs in KiCad's 3D cache object

Notes:

* non-ASCII path bugs are likely present in the other
3D plugins (vrml, x3d, IDF) so I need to have a look at the
code for those and fix the bugs.

* there is a fundamental non-ASCII path bug in OpenCascade
and by extension OCE: on Windows OpenCascade/OCE do
not provide a mechanism for opening files via Windows'
_wfopen() function so only files with a pure ASCII path may
be processed. Some posts on the web suggest that this bug
has been fixed in the latest version of OpenCascade but I
haven't had time to verify this. For the moment, in Windows
only, we cannot use files which have any non-ASCII characters
in the absolute path. Linux is not affected and I have no idea
about OSX.
