s/funcion/function/.

+extern int     pgfseek64(FILE *stream, pgoff_t offset, int origin);
+extern pgoff_t pgftell64(FILE *stream);

What about naming the internal wrappers _pgfseeko64() and
_pgftello64(), located in a new file named win32fseek.c?  It may be
possible that we would need a similar treatment for fseek(), in the
future, though I don't see an issue why this would be needed now.

+       return -1;

Shouldn't there be cases where we should return EINVAL for some of the
other types, like FILE_TYPE_REMOTE or FILE_TYPE_UNKNOWN?  We should
return ESPIPE only for FILE_TYPE_PIPE and FILE_TYPE_CHAR, then?
