Hi, Gilad!

FYI, it is *way way easier* for us to track bugs and patches and make
sure we don't forget about any of them if you upload them to the
appropriate tracker at sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=50884

This sounds like it's solvable just by declaring the evsig_handler
function to be __cdecl if WIN32 is defined?

The usual fix for this one is to include something like
#ifdef WIN32
#define fstat _fstat
#endif
near the start of the appropriate file.
