Moodfile Naming

[Jeff Mitchell]

I did some checking into this on mailing lists et al, and did some  
more testing.  Turns out NTFS handles commas just fine -- and  
apparently FAT32 does too (I've verified this writing to a FAT32  
device through Linux, but not via Windows.

I know that when I had issues before it was using Cygwin to copy a  
file containing a comma in the filename from one computer to another.   
It complained saying that the filename was invalid, and switching from  
, to ^ fixed the problem.

This may then simply be a Cygwin bug instead of a limitation of the  
filesystem, and not an issue we have to worry about at all.
