  A much bigger problem of mtools is that when copying *to* an MS-DOS
file system, it writes long filename entries to the directory.
Apparently it assumes that everyone using DOS filesystems is using
Windows '95.  This is not just the default; you can't turn it off (at
least, I found no way to do so - if anyone knows how please let me
know).
