Well, at the moment, MiNT supports only up to 128 chars in a pathname,
so the minifx cannot change anything on that. Longer pathnames would
be nice, but they take more memory, and usualy have longer directory
chains, so parsing will take longer. There should better be a cookie
cache first.

Just my DM 0.02 :-)
