Prohibitive, as others explained.
But what about reversing the direction of the links? Long names can
be groked by UNIX, as well as the symlink semantics. So put the files
under their MSDOS names and create symlinks from the UNIX tree back to
the MSDOS tree. Should really make life easier for CD users as well
(at least I wished I had this option back when I installed 1.3).
