Here's some examples of semi-unc support:

C:\>ls \\cws333\d$\djgpp
c:/djgpp/bin/ls: //cws333/d$/djgpp: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

C:\>ls \\cws333\d$\djgpp\*.*
c:/djgpp/bin/ls: //cws333/d$/djgpp/CWSDPMI.EXE: No such file or directory (ENOEN
T)
c:/djgpp/bin/ls: //cws333/d$/djgpp/DJGPP_SBRK_PROPOSAL.xls: No such file or dire
ctory (ENOENT)
c:/djgpp/bin/ls: //cws333/d$/djgpp/DJGPP_SBRK_PROPOSAL2.xls: No such file or dir
ectory (ENOENT)
c:/djgpp/bin/ls: //cws333/d$/djgpp/SETUP.BAT: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

c:/djgpp/bin/ls: //cws333/d$/djgpp/pmode13b.zip: No such file or directory (ENOE
NT)

C:\>cat \\cws333\d$\djgpp\setup.bat
if "%1" == "" set djdrv=%~d0
if NOT "%1" == "" set djdrv=%1
set path=%djdrv%\djgpp\bin;%path%
set DJGPP=%djdrv%/djgpp/djgpp.env
set djdrv=

So, the glob routines can see the files, but ls can't stat them.  Cat can
open the file.  So we're not that far away.
