The only reason I'm nitpicking is cause you said 'correctly.' :-)

Where's the ifdef CIRCLE_WINDOWS?
how about:
#ifdef CIRCLE_WINDOWS
struct _stat fbuf;
#else
struct stat fbuf;
#endif
#ifdef CIRCLE_WINDOWS
if (stat(filename, &fbuf) < 0) {
#else
if (_stat(filename, &fbuf) < 0) {
#endif
You never know when you'll have to switch your OS. Maybe years from now
you'll give up the mud and hand if off to the next guy, if nothing else, and
maybe he'll try to run it on an ancient SGI machine or even a (then really
ancient) 486 running linux :-)
Maybe you could do this, but I'm not sure there wouldn't be fallout in some
other place as a result.
#ifdef CIRCLE_WINDOWS
#define stat _stat
#endif
