DJGPP V2 supports LFNs.  In the current beta, the default is on (which causes
problems looking for long file names that have been truncated); in the next
beta the default will be off.  But you can change this on an image by image
basis with a environment variable LFN=y or LFN=n.  The default is set in
DJGPP.ENV

This would be a huge amount of work for DJGPP, but the NT port of GCC is well
along the way to making this capability available, from what I am told.
