tridge offers a new patch to Linux's VFAT filesystem

tridge has done it again, offering a patch to Linux's VFAT filesystem that retains support for long names, while carefully avoiding ever having both a long and a short name for the same file. As before, media containing the old long/short-name combination VFAT format are still supported. His comment on LKML:

Subject [PATCH] Added CONFIG_VFAT_FS_ DUALNAMES option
From tridge@samba ...
This is a new patch for VFAT long filename support, replacing the one that I posted last month. It retains a lot more functionality then the previous patch.
A FAQ will be posted immediately after this patch to answer the questions that were raised from the previous discussion.
Cheers, Tridge
And here is the FAQ. Note particularly what can and can't be safely discussed regarding patents on LKML. Here's the prior patch, for completeness.
