Depends on whether or not you care about "long filename" support - the
DJGPP stuff can't figure out LFNs under NT, but can under Win95. (unless
someone's figure out how to do it since I last looked, in which case I'd
like to know about it :-)).  Maybe one could figure out how to call code
from DLLs and go after a WinNT system DLL to get LFN info?  I just don't
know enough.
