Thanks for the tip.  I dug through the wxWidget's wxFileName source and
found that wxFileName::SameAs() method does an lstat() on platforms that
support it if the comparison operator between two wxFileName objects
fails.  It should be a simple change (famous last words).  I'm assuming
macos has lstat.  If not, then I will have to find another solution.
