Hmm, looks like it's the version stamp in the release tarballs that tips
it over the top,
xorg-server-1.2.99.0/hw/xprint/config/C/print/models/PSdefault/fonts/NewCenturySchlbk-BoldItalic.pmf
has 101 characters.

We could shift these default font files to ../config/fonts, say, and
point the symlinks back up there.   I'm thinking, however, it might be
simpler to just abbreviate the filename further, to, say
NewCentSchlbk-BoldItal.pmf
This would reduce the filename back to 96 for 1.2.99.0, which seems to
leave enough breathing space for future version numbers.
