GetShort PathName tests do not check if the file system the test runs on
actually has short path names enabled. Consequently it fails if run from a
drive where that feature is not turned on. Itz appears that only the System
Drive has that feature enabled by default on most installations although it
could be switched off there as well. The following patch demonstrates the
issue, if run on Cygwin/Win8.1 from an extra disk the test fails. Moving the
test file to the system drive, the test succeeds using the same build.
A rea fix should check the file system and/or try to use the system drive
(which might not be "C:", so it needs to be determined). If that's not
possible the tests need to be skipped if short path names a re not available.
