I am sorry I was not able to send my patches earlier. I had them ready
by the end of the day when we had the discussion, but I have not had an
opportunity to test it on Windows till today.

I have only skimmed over your patch, but there are a few changes that
I really dislike about your patch. You changed the semantic of _choice
functions. While I use it as stubs to choose what implementation to use,
you make them part of implementation, which is always called. So I do
not understand why you left the comment saying that they are only stubs
and then why you need function pointers at all then.

Also, you made some changes to MinGW (I don't know if you tested it),
but any change like removing _getdrive() from MinGW version is better
to move into separately patch (or, at least, clearly state them in the
commit comment).

Anyway, thanks for your efforts, but if you want to go ahead with some
other match of mine (especially Windows related), please, let me know,
so we can avoid stepping on each other toes.

Dmitry
