I guess there is a lot of work involved in making LFN=n behave the same
way as plain ol' DOS.

I probably should, but I find using DOS way too painful. I will do this
before a full release of the Fileutils port though.

BTW Mark the latest bash binaries download from your DJGPP page no longer
seem to support tab completion on environment variables, e.g. typing
'$DJDIR<tab>' does not give me 'c:/djgpp/', it just gives me '$DJDIR '.
