The mount(8) manpage becomes pretty ambiguous with the dualnames
patch. By default, "store a long name when the short name is not all
upper case" would apply - and is invoked because I am a lazy typist
who wrote "cp $this dscf3000" instead of "cp $this DSCF3000". Now
since dualnames=n is in effect, no long name would need to be written
because it still fits into 8.3 — subsequently, one would assume an
8.3 is generated for all shortname= cases.

Making WINNT the default would cause many a `ls` output to just
scream at me in uppercaps because there are programs that
create long names with all-uppers.

shortname really needs to be split into "shortname that is applied
during creation" and "shortname that is applied upon readdir".
