The reason why I just implemented -s (in 1999) was that GetLongPathName is
not available for Win95. If we have to be Win95-compatible still, you will
have to load the function yourself directly form the DLL and use
FindFirstFile (as mensioned in the MSDN docs for *GetShortPathName*) for
every part of the path if the function is not available.

Corinna,
you've seen my own patch for cygpath.cc in cygwin-apps ? Chris already
answered positivly and RH should have the assignment from late 1999 still.
My diff was against the sources from 14.5...
Regards,
Jorg
