 Hello!

 I'd like to complain about missing stat64() family of functions. Yes, i
know that under Cygwin i just need to use stat() instead. But may be we
should include something like this in our headers :
#define stat64 stat
#define lstat64 lstat
#define fstat64 fstat
 ?

 It's a bit painful to add these definitions in the code here and there.
AFAIK every UNIX system still has them for source compatibility.

Kind regards,

 You said - "SHE" ??? Corinna is a woman ? Main Cygwin maintainer is a lady
??? Really ?

 P.S. Nothing really personal, just wanted to know, to be more careful
maybe...

1) Corinna isn't "main Cygwin maintainer".

2) Corinna has always been a woman's name.
