However the MAX_PATH issue is not really an issue in practice.
The *only* uses I have seen of paths longer than MAX_PATH, have been silly script-kiddies trying to create problems for people running FTP servers. And that's because the ordinary tools can't handle them, thus, difficult to remove the script-kiddie's nested folders. Conversely, as a serious software developer one should stay well away from such paths.
Please note that the following filename is very close to the limit: bin.v2\libs\program_options\build\msvc-10.0\release\address-model-64\architecture-x86\link-static\runtime-link-static\threading-multi\libboost_program_options-vc100-mt-s-1_47.lib I even had real problems with building Boost from the not-so-long subfolder of the my home folder. -- Sergey Cheban
