I'll have a go at doing this.  I've fallen at the first hurdle,
however.  How do you suggest I replace the 'struct stat' definition?
I need to make sure that it is replaced everywhere, and I don't see
any obvious place to put my definition.

Even making a new header file and #include'ing it from each source
file that does a "#include <stat.h>", or from each source file that
calls stat() isn't enough.  w32.c for example neither includes
<stat.h> nor calls stat(), but it does need to see Emacs's 'struct
stat' replacement, since it handles buffers returned from stat().
Perhaps it should #include <stat.h> - is this an oversight?  It turns
out (for me) that the "#include <stddef.h> /* for offsetof */" line
causes <stat.h> to be included, but wouldn't it be better to
explicitly depend on stat.h?
