Can you build on a non-DOS platform?

We had this problem with Kerberos many years ago and it was decided
that we would not restrict file names to 8.3 notation because doing so
resulted in names that were too cryptic.  It became impossible to
figure out what the file was supposed to do.

Instead we decided that all DOS and Windows 3.x builds would have to
be made on a system (Win9x or NT) that understood long file names.
