This is not an application-level issue: if some drives don't support
the LFN API, _all_ applications on that system will have to modify
the way they use the result of _USE_LFN.

Since this applies to all programs, simply replacing _use_lfn with a
custom version will do what you want.  So I don't see a reason to
invent an application-level feature like the one you suggest.
