seek/sysseek 64 bit support under Windows

[ari...@gmail.com]

Hi!

I wrote a FAT32 and reiserfs reader in ruby and it works in linux, but
if I open a disk device in windows (i.e. \\.\PhysicalDrive1) I can't
seek over 2GB. I haven't tried to compile ruby source under windows and
it would be nice if somebody patched ruby for windows... I could also
use Win32API directly (I'm already using it for getting disk
information).

Thanks,
Adam

Though I'm not sure if it is applicable to recents.

I found newer version, 2005-04-21, and put it. This would be
better.

Hi!

Thanks for the patch, I'll try it. Why hasn't it been merged
in the source? I don't know about the ruby development process
but it's strange for me.
