IMHO, more info is needed to make such an addition.  Some questions are
below.

How should a DJGPP program know that it runs in such an environment? 
Would testing USE_LFN be enough?  Is this a feature of COMMAND.COM that 
comes with Win95, or of DOS 7.0 in general?  Does COMMAND.COM have any 
switches to enable or disable this?  If so, how can one know the setting 
of these switches?
