run into a "file name too long" issue when building the root file system.  I
wonder if people use cygwin as much as I do :| .


Turns out someone submitted patches for Cygwin to fix
this problem, but they were never merged, it seems.
The patches were discussed here:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-patches/2003-q4/msg00098.html
Anyone know why they didn't go in?   Did the author's copyright
assignment not go through?
