No, it is intended and expected that the structs are different.

How? And why?

These functions were always named like that (it just wasn't visible
as these were constructed through macros).

No, it is intended and expected that the structs are different.

That's why the structs are different and the fields of
win32_stat always large enough, no matter which struct 
is being used internally.

The point of this solution is to provide independence 
between what the application "sees" and what is used 
to call the Windows API.
