It isn't worth your while worrying about that now, since Emacs doesn't
support visiting files larger than what EMACS_INT can handle.  Since
the Windows definition of EMACS_INT is based on 32-bit integers, the
2GB limit is good eanough.

We don't need such a precision, I'd say truncate it to an integral
value (and avoid round-off while at that).
