Which windows platform?  These functions are implemented in the MS
runtime, not mingw.  I can confirm that they return correct file sizes
for me on the runtime shipped with Windows XP.  I actually thought I
wouldn't have to bother with doing a port at all, until I discovered
that the MS fread() implementation almost always returns short reads
on disk files.  Ugh.
