for the low level file io. There may also be special ways of getting large file support with the posix api used by tif_unix.c, but I don't know much about that.

FYI, on Linux, one way is to add -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 to the compiler options. A cursory google search seems to suggest that this isn't supported on MinGW although there has been some proposed patches [1] that can probably be used to make tif_unix.c work for MSVC as well. Of course, we would need to be careful to this properly for non-Windows platforms if we decided to go this route.
