Actually, there are only six files whose names have to be shortened for
14-character filesystems: getdevicename.{c,h}, printprotoinet.{c,h}, and
printsocktype.{c,h}. This is hardly a burden.

You should also realize that kstuff contains more than thirty
independent libraries. Someone porting the important parts---nlistlist,
kmem, getuser, etc.---to System V can simply ignore the other libraries,
and the filename length problem won't even show up.

Apparently you'd rather bitch than contribute. Too bad.
