+SMB long filename support (EXPERIMENTAL)
+CONFIG_SMB_LONG
+  SMBFS was designed to support long filenames using the LanManager
+  2.0 protocol. I had to find out that the support for long filenames
+  sometimes causes problems, which can even result in kernel OOPSes. I
+  did not yet find out what the problem is, but hopefully I will find
+  this bug eventually. As many people seem to run long filenames with
+  no problems, I leave this support in the kernel as an option. The
+  careful among you should say N here.
