Nope.  If your program tries to open getpagesize.h on an 8.3 machine,
you'll automatically get getpages.h.  The problems happen when you
have *two* files that would have the *same* 8.3 name, like
getpagesize.h and getpagespeed.h.  Or when you try to use a file that
has 8.3-illegal characters, like "some file.h", or that differ only in
case, like string.h and String.h.
