Well, good for DJGPP, but is that enough? How do you build the
libraries (.LIB) and shared libraries (.DLL)? How do you link your
programs? If it's with LINK and similar, do they handle long file
names the same way? I guess not. Therefore, having libraries with
names longer than 8+3 can still be disastrous.
