I think we've established it doesn't quite work. However I think the lines in
this .asm file could be changed to fix this:

https://github.com/DigitalMars/optlink/blob/master/parse/parse_fn.asm#L206

It refers to "illegal HPFS filename path", a google search reveals this is an
ancient OS/2 file system:

We should update this so only NTFS illegal chars are rejected (if you want to
keep supporting OS/2 then we should at least branch out for D). These are the
illegal ones:

Btw, I still can't build Optlink so I can't make a pull request for this.
