I'm going to release an Ada package (UniParser - a library for creating
grammar parsers). Gnat uses long filenames. What is the best solution
for release:

I work under Linux. Windows archivers do not accept ZIP files created 
by Linux "zip" with long filenames (more than 8.3).

Should I:

- Release in .tar.gz (Hey, Windows users, are you all able to 
extreact?)

- Use file names shortened to 8.3 (krunching)

- Any other solution?
