   It does not use ‘fflush’ as that is presumably part of
   the stream rewind.  (Am i missing something?)

BTW, i've just deleted branch ‘q-spurious-eof’ and added
branch ‘q-desync’ instead.  Everything is squashed down,
including src/z.c, now revised to do the post-‘lseek’.
There is also new program src/y.c to play with.  I'm curious
how these behave under Cygwin.  Also, the original (2010)
configure-time test is back, in case you want to try to see
if/how ‘CAN_FFLUSH_IN’ is detected under Cygwin.
