Hi!

I'm using DAR on Windows. But I'm facing a problem.

DAR on Windows can't treat files whose filename are longer 
than 260 charactors. This is because dar is based on cygwin.

Cygwin has limitation of a filename length.

What part of DAR is relying on Cygwin? Unix System Call?

I think it is possible to hide platform dependant parts
by introducing platform-independant layers.
