I'd say that from the moment it runs ok with the LFN support from DJGPP,
we'll have something... I run Linux here, and when I do DOS or Win95, I do
it with bash, using sh-utils (ls, mv, rm, etc...)... It's a shame they
works ultra-nice in Win95, but stalls on the long or weird filenames in
bare DOS (like choking on dotfiles)...
