Reading again, sync i/o ReadFile with OVERLAPPED struct should work fine. It's not clear though if file offset is changed (pread man page says it does not change). Also this approach deals with Windows only. There's still another NO_PREAD user, HP-UX something, and NO_PREAD comment mentions cygwin before v1.5.22. I personally don't care, just wanted to point out.
