Re: [PATCH 2/2] MinGW: 64-bit file offsets

The type 'off_t' should be used everywhere so that the bit-depth of that

recompile your program to benefit from the extended precision.

Only that it was not done that way in the MS runtime library.

This patch reroutes off_t to off64_t and provides the other necessary
changes so that finally, clones larger than 2 gigabyte work on Windows
(provided you are on a file system that allows files larger than 2gb).

Initial patch by Sickboy [off-list ref].
