Give us some credit for intelligence.  Setting LFN to 'y' by default
makes sense, because DJGPP isn't stupid enough to try to use LFNs on a
file system that doesn't support it.  If you're running under OS/2,
DJGPP will simply ignore the setting of LFN and do the Right Thing,
since that's all it *can* do.

LFN only affects Win95 (or other lfn-aware OSs), in in those cases
where LFN matters, "y" seems to always be the right choice.
