@Compression: This may work for english, but will then fail for arabic, chinese 
etc. filenames. The strings are just too short I'm afraid.
Disabling the base64-style encoding and removing the prefix would give us an 
average limit of > 250 chars (not 255 because we'd need to encode / and NULL). 
Worst-case (all / or NULL) would be 127. I understand that the encoding is for 
portability, but couldn't it be made optional? Standard Linux filesystems don't 
care as long as the file name does not contain / and NULL.
