   Traditionally File Libraries and Message Groups need *shorter* names than File   
   directories and Sub-boards to look nice in all the Synchronet prompts, etc.   
      
   Right now, both file lib and msg group long names are limited to 40 chars, but   
   libs/group short names are limited to 15 chars while dir/sub short names are   
   limited to 25 chars.   
      
   Are you asking for file *library* long names to be increased, but not   
   directory long names? I'd be inclined to increase either the long names for   
   dirs/subs or *both* the libs/groups and the dirs/subs. But increasing the max   
   length of the long name for the higher level (usually more general) container   
   to a length longer than the maximum for the sub-categories doesn't make a lot   
   of sense to me.   
      
   SCFG->File Areas (similarly, SCFG->Message Areas) currently displays the   
   entire lib/group long names, followed by the count of dirs or subs within.   
   Extending the max length by more than 10 chars would mean we couldn't display   
   the full long names in SCFG any more (unless maybe when running in wider than   
   80 col modes).
