Summary: unistd.h doesn't work with -D_NO_OLDNAMES

Initial Comment:
because ftruncate() is declared as

int ftruncate(int, off_t)

instead of 

int ftruncate(int, _off_t)


(at the bottom of the unistd.h)

Message:
Hmm.  According to MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/323b6b3k.aspx

*both* off_t and _off_t should be defined as standard data types, (and
both serving the same purpose).  I'm wondering if the real bug here is not
in sys/types.h?  Perhaps off_t should be type defined, irrespective of
_NO_OLDNAMES.
