Great news! So lets go on doing something useful for that money;-) I'm back from my vacation and already checked in the first of what I've done. I was offline but had my netbook with me.
I successfully replaced the std::ifstream with my own implentation. So for the windows porters there should be one a single system call left to #ifdef with some win32-specific call. In zimlib/src/fstream.cpp there is a call to lseek64.
