Any filesystem type the host OS (linux, in this case) can mount, wine
can use.  "win95" refers to the fs behavior wine presents to the windows
app.  Wine is a *NIX application program.  It does't really _care_ about
the fstype.  Use minix, umsdos, vfat, ext2, ext, ext3, reiserfs,
isofs, nfs,... just as you like.  Here you just tell wine whether you
want filenames a windows app can use limited to 8.3 ("msdos") or not
("win95").
