All DJGPP programs support LFN on Windows 95 (but not on Windows/NT,
since NT doesn't support the Microsoft LFN API available on Windows 95).
However, the File/Text/Shell-utils ports do more than just support long
filenames: they change their workings to some extent when LFN allows them
to be more like on Unix. For example, numbered backups behave on Windows
95 like you'd expect (foo.bar -> foo.bar.~1~), `touch' can change all the
3 time stamps of the file maintained by Windows 95 VFAT filesystem, etc.
