NT is not a problem, since DJGPP doesn't support LFN there (except
with the TSR).

As for the rest, given Charles' testing, I tend to agree.  The
question is how to solve the problems that this triggers.  These
problems are similer to running a build process on Windows 9X after
setting LFN=n: in most cases it won't work.

"command.com /c" is about as portable as it gets, in the sense that
this was something I could rely on to work on any platform which
supports DJGPP.  If you can suggest something more portable, please
do.
