It makes them work in Schannel's CA bundle loader, and curl tool's
set/get file timestamp operations (e.g. in `-R`/`--remote-time`). Also
to match file open operations, that already support long filenames.
E.g. when using `--remote-time`, fixing:
```
Warning: Failed to set filetime 1741363917 on outfile: CreateFile failed:
Warning: GetLastError 0x00000003
```
The special long filename logic is necessary to support Windows releases
prior to Windows 10 v1607. With the latter, it's possible to opt-in to
this behavior via a manifest setting. Note that Windows itself also needs
to opt-in to support this. Finally note that curl itself needs passing
`--globoff` to let long filenames through, pending #20044 and #20046.

You find a mix of various documentation in this directory and subdirectories,
using several different formats. Some of them are not ideal for reading
directly in your browser.
If you would rather see the rendered version of the documentation, check out the

general curl stuff or the libcurl section for
libcurl related documentation.
