After some more thinking.
I should not deal myself with truncating the files in DEVEL... I think it is 
best if the program making the package does it.
I think that what I need, for T2210, is that it just truncate the files... so 
that they will be accepted by fdnpkg.
That's what happened with suggested way of installing by DJGPP when no LFN 
program is installed.
They ask that all files be unzipped in same directory... which means they get 
truncated to 8.3 filenames.

For SOURCE... I should let fdpkg decide.

Will try to continue my "work" of updating DJGPP packages, keeping the full 
names everywhere, and not having compressed files.

I may eventually check if I can modify fdpkg.sh to just do that (to test before 
T2210), unless Jerome come with a solution soon.
