- Well, at the moment, MiNT supports only up to 128 chars in a pathname,
- so the minifx cannot change anything on that. Longer pathnames would
- be nice, but they take more memory, and usualy have longer directory
- chains, so parsing will take longer. There should better be a cookie
- cache first.
