Hi,

I've put up a dosemu 1.1.5.6 for testing to fix some (but not all) of the
problems with 1.1.5.5.

for instance:
* compiles with --without-x
* lots of LFN fixes
* hogthreshold adjustments for the mouse

one thing you should be aware of is that the redirector (MFS,
lredir'ed drive) behaviour with respect to files on vfat partitions has
changed: instead of mangled short names such as
PROGR~6I
you now see the real short names (obtained using a special ioctl) such as
PROGRA~1
for "Program Files". On proper filesystems such as ext2 this behaviour
hasn't changed and there you'll keep seeing the mangled names with non-LFN
DOS utilities.

Performance on VFAT-lredired drives should have improved a bit too, since
the code now exploits the fact that stat() is case insensitive on VFAT.
