Long filenames is fine for some random module as renaming is always 
possible. A hardcoded dependency on a module with long filenames is a 
different matter however.

QEMU has such a habit with their hardcoded video bios files 
(vga-cirrus.bin). Bochs luckily allows renaming of files and specifying 
them in its config file.

Would you suggest to rename libutil_com.c32 (and thus the name the 
menu/vesamenu modules are looking for), or let the menu modules try to 
load the first module it can find among several possible names 
(including a 8.3 one) ?

Are there any additional likewise cases of inter-module dependencies?
