Use the longPathAware manifest entry to handle path lengths above
260. This requires the LongPathsEnabled registry key to be set
at run-time.
Modify (some) WIN32 API calls to use the wide-character variant.
These features are controlled by the build-time configuration
option FEATURE_LONG_PATHS, which is not enabled by default.

join: add some more tests2026-01-23T11:31:21+00:00Ron Yorstonrmy@pobox.com2026-01-23T11:31:21+00:00urn:sha1:7504b4e889e23a80f84101e19ff0e9e626634cd4
One more from the POSIX documentation and some examples from
coreutils.
win32: add a config for 32-bit build with Unicode2025-12-02T09:36:14+00:00Ron Yorstonrmy@pobox.com2025-12-02T09:36:14+00:00urn:sha1:208649d7b5e27e5473f72381827364e4cfc0fc17
Now that a binary with a UTF-8 manifest can run on Windows XP
it's possible to configure a build which supports Unicode on
Windows 10+ but which still runs on legacy systems.
- Add the config file mingw32w_defconfig. This is a 32-bit build
with the UTF-8 manifest which also runs on legacy systems.
- A new config option, FEATURE_FAIL_IF_UTF8_MANIFEST_UNSUPPORTED,
allows the check for legacy systems to be skipped.
- An incompatibility with Windows XP in writeCon_utf8() has been
fixed.

make: support GNU/BSD suffixes and inference rules2025-01-14T12:22:55+00:00Ron Yorstonrmy@pobox.com2025-01-14T09:52:58+00:00urn:sha1:85bbce87d6428fbc6a8bf7126988c4458a033727
The specification of inference rules in POSIX implies that only
suffixes starting with a period and containing no other periods
are to be considered.
In contrast, both GNU and BSD make allow suffixes to contain an
arbitrary number of periods, or none at all. Allow this as an
extension.
Adds 640-816 bytes.
