Summary: Patch for #1586414 to avoid fragmentation on Windows

Initial Comment:
Add a call to file.truncate() to inform Windows of the
size of the target file in  makefile(). This helps
guide cluster allocation in NTFS to avoid fragmentation.

Is this merely an NTFS problem or is it the same with FAT fs?
How do you detect file fragmentation?
Doesn't this problem apply to all other modules or scripts
that write to file objects as well?
Shouldn't a decent filesystem be able to handle growing
files in a correct manner?
