The call to GetFileSize() doesn't match the Microsoft documentation,

A couple of comments regarding your recent changes:

a. GetFileSize() returns the bits 32-63 of the file size in
   the 2nd parameter. I think code like this is more better:

        DWORD high_filesize;
        filesize = GetFileSize(dev, &high_filesize);
        if (filesize != INVALID_FILE_SIZE || GetLastError() != NO_ERROR)
                *retblocks (((unsigned long long) high_filesize << 32)
                            + filesize) / blocksize;

b. Use of CreateFile() causes problems because win32 doesn't know
   about the cygwin mount points. Code like this is more flexible:

        fd = open(file, O_RDONLY | O_BINARY);
        if (fd == -1)
            return EBADF;
        dev = (HANDLE) get_osfhandle(fd);

        ...
        close(fd);

c. Similarly, code in unix_io.c needs to force binary mode to
   avoid getting incorrect results when cygwin decides the image
   is text!

        open_flags = (flags & IO_FLAG_RW) ? O_RDWR : O_RDONLY;
        #ifdef O_BINARY
        open_flags |= O_BINARY;
        #endif
