The only features I need in v2.04 are :
1. stdint.h/inttypes.h and vsnprintf() & co which I can handle,
2. any fixes went into 2.04 which I have trouble handling because
2.03 branch is very much not compilable by gcc-3+.

AFAIU, no LFN stuff were in 2.03, yes? If yes that means
2.03 knows nothing about LFN stuff and _can_ result in FS
corruption??
