I do.

Well ... the whole point of wine is compatibility, and in fact the
existing code in wine to handle 8.3 names can be view as a hack for
the sake of compatibility (long names good, 8.3 bad :-).  All I'm
suggesting is that the existing 8.3 code could be made more compatible.

It's really unfortunate that Solaris (as far as I can tell) doesn't have
a way reading the short filename from the DOS filesystem.
