depends on how you define efficient:

Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.path.samefile
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'samefile'

(samefile is only available on inode-based systems)

I think the normcase solution should be good enough, and it's guaranteed to exist
on all platforms.
