I have just checked in a hack to Ffile_attributes that casts the uid in 
the stat structure to unsigned short on windows to make it consistent 
with getuid.
You'll need to remove this hack if/when you make the above more 
comprehensive change. I think the current %= 60001 in several places in 
w32.c where uid and gid are initialised will be able to be removed once 
you have made this change too.
