This has come up before, and I keep meaning to write a little script to 
check all the names in a directory to see if any are too long.  To be run 
before each release (when a bunch of other checks are run).

Just haven't gotten around to it.  Let's see - "ls -1 -R" will get the 
filenames.

Is there a regular expression I can use with grep to pick out the ones 
longer that 31 characters?  Maybe -v -E "^.{1,31}$" ?

I'll try to add something to the release checklist.
