IMHO, LFN should be always set to "y".  The startup code tests for 
availability of LFN functions even when LFN=y, and won't use the LFN API 
if it is not available (like on DOS or NT).  So it should do no harm
setting it to "y" in all environments.

In fact, the next DJGPP release will set LFN=y in the distributed
DJGPP.ENV.
