You can create these objects using the CreateFile() API but you
must add the Posix semantics flag. This will also allow you to create
Makefile and makefile in the same directory.

The problem is that you will not be able to access these files
from Windows/MSDOS.

Sadly this means that almost noone uses Posix semantics.
