RFR: 8218547: Simplify JLI_Open on Windows in native code (libjli) - was : RE: RFR : 8217093: Support extended-length paths in parse_manifest.c on windows

[Baesken, Matthias]

Hi Christoph / Alan, thanks  for the  reviews.


Btw what do you think about the   longPathAware     setting   in the manifest  ?

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/naming-a-file

https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jeremykuhne/2016/07/30/net-4-6-2-and-long-paths-on-windows-10/

This might be an option for Windows 10 / Windows server 2016  to  enable long path awareness for  all open calls.
( however for older Windows versions I think we still  need the ELP/UNC path coding)


Thanks, Matthias
