Please do not use MAXPATHLEN, it is a arbitrary limit, and is not
defined on GNU. Currently this makes libjava (gcc 4.0.0) unbuildable on GNU
since [gcc]/libjava/gnu/java/nio/channels/natFileChannelImpl.cc assumes that
MAXPATHLEN is defined. Please do not use these kind of limits in GNU programs.
Not having MAXPATHLEN is perfectly compliant with POSIX, same goes for
MAXHOSTNAMELEN, PATH_MAX etc.
