There is no fseeko in the Windows libraries, nor any provision in the

configure cleverness.
However, there is a Windows library routine to do a 64bit seek and
return the file position, so we could fairly easily implement fseeko and
ftello based on that. See

Is there any risk that the mingw libraries would fail when manipulating
a file whose current offset exceeds 32 bits? I'm wondering if we'd have
to roll our own stdio in toto, not just fseeko/ftello :-(
AFAIK all this is coming straight from the base Windows libraries. I
guess we'll have to test it when we get around to it.
