Unfortunately, I suspect that all these LFN drivers aren't good enough 
for DJGPP, unless they support the entire LFN API, not only the functions 
that create, delete, read, and write files.  For example, what about the 
extended time stamps of the files, are they supported?

When _use_lfn returns non-zero, the DJGPP library assumes all of the API 
is available.  If this is not true, you will get subtle bugs.

But since I didn't look at these drivers, I could be totally wrong.
