	So your saying, that if i compile a program on my machine
(regardless of the value of LFN on my machine), and then I distribute it
to a machine that does not have DJGPP installed & doesn not have an
environmental variable called LFN, long filenames will work?
	But, if they have a copy of DJGPP (and set DJGPP=path/djgpp.env)
then it won't work unless they have a variable LFN=y?
