Support for MS Joliet long filename extensions is only available in
NetBSD-current. If you're feeling adventurous, you could try applying the
patches in PR kern/7951 to the 1.4.2_ALPHA sources. They definately don't
apply cleanly though, so some hand-merging would be required.

Before anyone asks why the patches were not pulled up into the 1.4 branch,
it's because I felt this didn't qualify as a `well tested bug-fix' at the
time. Perhaps now it's been in -current long enough with no complaints it
could be pulled up...
