I noticed some strange filename issues when BL3 mounts a FAT16
partition.  If you run:

touch basename.ext1.ext2 && ls

it will list the file as "basename.ext1", but it will still allow you
to reference "basename.ext1.ext2".  

It gets confusing if you're working with a gz'd file like
loadlin.exe.gz, because it doesn't show the .gz, and gunzip refuses to
operate on "loadlin.exe".  I believe typing "gunzip file.tar.gz" will
produce "file.tar".. it just doesn't seem to show that because it's
hiding the outter extension.
