I think there would be reasonable precedent for something like  
box_stat, but I agree it's not nice to change all of the code if it  
can be avoided.

Another possibility is scary #define trickery. Possibly even less  
nice, but as long as you make sure sys/stat.h has already been  
included you could #define stat as box_stat and then provide your own  
box_stat. Obviously this stuff would only be invoked for mingw.

Cheers,

Martin.
