Please tell more how does this solve the problem.
Also, beware of Windows bugs in handling LFNs whose SFN is identical
to the name of another file. For example, Makefile.in.in has its SFN
as Makefile.in (when numeric tails are disabled), so if you have a
file called Makefile.in in the same directory, you are toast. (For
another manifestation of the same bug, see the source of `_rename' in
the library.)

...and this is where the Makefile.in.in vs. Makefile.in will bite you.
