Hmph.  It's not old, it's *experienced*.  You young folks with your zfs
and fancy-shmancy network protocols... why, in my day... hmph.

Joking aside: the current version of the nfs-server package was built
againt a version of the cygwin DLL that supported 64-bit I/O.  The
executable claims that it's importing the 64-bit versions of fopen,
lseek, lstat, etc. - so using it with large files *should* work.
