How about a combination of DOS version being 7.something *and* LFN being 
available?

Don't use _use_lfn, though, because somebody could set LFN=n; use the 
function of Int 21h it calls internally.

Of course, it is possible to disable the LFN support in Windows itself 
(via the Control Panel), but I doubt that anybody in their right mind 
would do such a thing, because most Windows applications will begin to 
puke.
