As DJ said, this should be automatic...  However, I've also have a few
programs where I have code force LFN use, if available.  This is with DJGPP
v2.03.

#ifdef __DJGPP__
/* if LFN driver installed, force _USE_LFN on */
if(lfn_installed)
{
  _crt0_startup_flags&=~_CRT0_FLAG_NO_LFN;
  putenv("LFN=y");
}
#endif

The variable lfn_installed gets set to one if a __dpmi_int 0x21 call to
0x71a0 reports that it supports long filename functions.
