Thanks for the patch!

Cygwin does make working with nt a little more endurable :)

This is the main problem with integrating the patch - it touched 
just about every open and fopen in the source. This make it more 
difficult to stay synched with the OpenBSD CVS tree (i.e lots more 
manual patching).

Is there any way to decrease the volume of these changes or isolate
them to a one-off #define?

I will give the diff a try over the weekend on our poor NT machine :)
