Maybe.  I don't object, since it should be harmless to add this, but I 
seem to be missing the point of why sys/types.h is needed at all.  
cab_off_t is just typedef'ed to UINT32, which should compile just fine 
with only winnt.h, I think.  Is there a particular scenario you are 
encountering that fails?  If so, what is the compile error?
