Today it occured to me that we could quite easily (hopefully) support
deletion of these extra entries. I'm going to look into that when I'm back
from vacation (which is in two weeks).
That way we would at least be able to fully support the Win95 partition
without destroying its consistency, albeit without support for the long
filenames in our implementation.
