Just to give you hope, out of the zip "touch" works with LFNs on XP RC1.
So they occasionally fix some things :-)

Bad news: _get_dev_info() always returns 0 on LFN handles, character or
file.  Thus all handles look like files on drive A which have been written.
This is broken on all Win2K and XP tests.  This routine is used in 
several places in the library.  Note it doesn't fail, just returns 0.
