    You don't have to edit anything.  If LFN is disabled, and you try to include
a file like "1234567890123.h", DJGPP will truncate the file to 8.3 and open
"12345678.h".  So all you need to do is ensure that you have LFN working OR
ensure that all of the names of the files are simple truncations of their LFN
equivalents (this is usually done by most 16-bit unzip programs).
