Good to know -- does ogg123 run on macos (besides the unix-like one)?  Or
just on POSIX-like systems?

Good point.  But we shouldn't for the same reason that we shouldn't use
NAME_MAX -- the value can be different for different filesystems.

However, given the spirit of "get it working for beta4", and given the
rationale that if your $HOME is so long that you can't have a file named
".ogg123rc" you're hosed anyway, let's just use FILENAME_MAX.

After all, it's just being used to bound the length of the string; I think
there isn't much value of checking to ensure it's a legal length for a
filename since it's right in $HOME.
