Overlong filenames for QNX

[Carter N.]

Hello there,

I tried to install ncurses 5.4 on QNX 6.2.1. However, when extracting the
downloaded package, tar reported that the filenames of some files were too
long. I have appended the error messages to the bottom of this message.

I am not sure what the maximum filename length is for QNX, and I don't have
the expertise to fix the problem myself. I am not sure if these files are
critical for the installation to work properly, thought I suppose the HTML
files in the doc folder are not. I should point out that an precompiled
nurses package is already available for QNX. (I needed the extra header
files, which don't seem to come with the precompiled package.)

I trust this is useful information.
