The problem is that it doesn't have a list, there are multiple lists and they aren't documented. NTFS will reject some filenames, win16/win32/win64/.net/etc. will reject others (as you have seen by Linux's ability to create files that Windows Explorer refuses to handle). There is no canonical list of filenames to avoid on Windows. See: http://blogs.msdn.com/michkap/archive/2006/11/03/941420.aspx That alone makes this (imho) a basically intractable problem, unfortunately.
