It doesn't pass the test suite, for example t5301-sliding-window.sh 
fails.

I will investigate.

Note that I quickly discarded the idea of mmap() on MinGW because at least 
in the past, we used to rename files that were mmap()ed.  That is a no-go 
with CreateFile().

And I'd really like to see speed comparisons; AFAIR we had major issues 
with mmap() performance on MacOSX, and use lseek() && pread() for 
that particular code instead now.

Note that I find your work valuable, even if it should turn out that 
CreateFile() is slower, because at least we will know.

Thanks,
