I'm not sure if my previous post went through the mailing-list (format seemed 
jumbled up, it could have gotten blocked perhaps, not sure). Since it’s a very 
simple fix, I thought I bring it up once more just to get a conformation that 
this is at least on someone’s to-do list. I hope I’m not disregarding any 
etiquette.

"utf8.c" handles all file name / directory conversions when dealing with long 
path (>260 characters) on Windows. Unfortunately a little part of the MSDN 
documentation was not taken into account:

"When using an API to create a directory, the specified path cannot be so long 
that you cannot append an 8.3 file name (that is, the directory name cannot 
exceed MAX_PATH minus 12)."

So, simply in two places, nChar>MAX_PATH becomes nChar>MAX_PATH-12. 
Modification so insignificant I not sure if I should make a patch for this.

Again, I appreciate all the effort that you’ve put into this little gem.

Mike
