Yes.

I'm sure that we'll sort it out eventually.

The problem is that the MinGW headers don't provide an equivalent of
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS, so we will have to manually "redirect" off_t to
off64_t, lseek() to lseek64(), stat to ... _stat64? (or _stati64? I'm
not sure), etc. More importantly, we have to get all of them in sync.
