    The limit is actually 260 characters. Not that it helps much :-)
    However, there's a way (well, hack) to overcome this limit
    using special UNC pathnames like
    \\?\C:\very\long\path\here or \\?\UNC\server\share\very\long\path.


This hack is now implemented in the latest squeak and pharo vm.


    The "only" issue is that not all tools in the chain are using
    this hack...
