Comments:  we really shouldn't use libc/dosio.h for determining long
file names being on in code like this - instead we should use the
crt0 flag check.  djtar has an example.  We will probably convert from
a function to a variable, put some check code into crt1.c (to avoid the
environment problem).  Yet another long term design/implementation isssue.

Eli has pointed out the __opendir_flags stuff should actually be 
handled in the libc for ALL LFN programs.

Very simple and nice patches. Thanks.
