Flame me if this is a totally stupid idea, but would it be so difficult to
change the RHIDE.ENV in the current RHIDE distribution? That wouldn't break
it on SFN systems either, since the extra X gets truncated. It would only
hurt people with LFN=Y who unzip with PKUNZIP, or LFN=N people who have
NameNumericTails and Winzip, but IMHO they deserve to lose anyway...
