While I haven't looked at the code for a couple of years, I'm very willing to help sort things out with it. A few gotcha's: o case sensitive o MAKEFILE.IN and Makefile.in.in are different files (even without the case sensitivity; I almost went on a homicidal rampage when this gave me grief under windows) o new short names for long names are a pseudo base64 encoded 48 bit crc of the long name (encoded in the range b0-f0 (skipping e5) iirc (the only 64 range of chars dos didn't mangle)) However, fat32 is supported though not recently tested and then only reading tested.
