Dosbox integration

Hello,
I'm Fabian Ebner and work with wine as a hobby.

I found that GetShortNameA converts the example path
C:\123456789\dn\DN.COM
to
C:\1234~Q4C\dn\DN.COM
which causes problems with dosbox integration.
Dosbox would need the path as
C:\123456~1\dn\DN.COM
Is there another function that converts the path in the way, dosbox
needs it, should it be implemented or should dosbox be able to handle
the first form of the path too?

Also wine often tries to mount his z: drive, which isn't possible,
because dosbox already mounts an own Z: drive
http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/ZDrive
Maybe wine should mount his Z: as Y:?

Thanks in advance

~Fabian
