Although,

I've been watching with great anticipation as Corinna has added some
framework for LFS (large file support) under Cygwin.  This can be seen by
the 64bit typedefs for off_t and dev_t in /usr/include/cygwin/types.h.  Of
course it is ifdef'ed so that these can't be used (yet).  A ray of hope? 
Possibly...

Cheers,
Nicholas
