Well, "braindamaged win32" is a supported platform for Hatari, so one
should not disregard it but write the code accordingly.

But that's only true *if* you use fseeko and ftello. fseek and ftell
will always have to use signed long int to be compliant to the C
standard. Hence, on a 32-bit host, be it Linux/Unix or Windows, you will
be restricted to 2 GB when using fseek and ftell. No macro can change this.
@Nicolas: I agree that Hatari should consistenly use fseeko and ftello.
