You people do realize these hacks would only be required for 10+ year 
old obsolete compilers?

No, they're required for easy distribution on 12 year old OSes (which, 
last I saw, make up almost 40% of Firefox's desktop userbase, and likely 
will continue to for some time).

What kind of nonsense is this? You should know that the last Microsoft 
compiler to create dynamically linked code that used msvcrt.dll was 
Visual Studio 6.0 from 1998.

Oldest Visual Studio supported by FLAC 1.3 is Visual Studio 2005. FLAC 
is also configured to be compiled with static linking, so no external 
dependencies hinder its function.

If you take a look at the following MSDN pages for Visual Studio 2005, 
you will see that _fseeki64 and _ftelli64 are supported all the way back 
to Windows 95:
