Log Message:
Enable large file support on Win32 systems.
Curious: the MS docs say stati64 etc are supported even on Win95, but
Win95 doesn't support a filesystem that allows partitions > 2 Gb.
test_largefile: This was opening its test file in text mode. I have no
idea how that worked under Win64, but it sure needs binary mode on Win98.
BTW, on Win98 test_largefile runs quickly (under a second).

 Windows
 
+ - Large file support is now enabled on Win32 platforms as well as on
+ Win64. This means that, for example, you can use f.tell() and f.seek()
+ to manipulate files larger than 2 gigabytes (provided you have enough
+ disk space, and are using a Windows filesystem that supports large
+ partitions).
+ 
 - The w9xpopen hack is now used on Windows NT and 2000 too when COMPSPEC
 points to command.com (patch from Brian Quinlan).
