Good, I choose that bit for this exact reason. I assumed it was working on
cygwin and didn't want to break it. From what you said earlier, it didn't
work anyway, so no harm done. :)

I'm not sure it's worth trying to fix these two tests for "use-mmap false",
which seems a rather obsolete feature. Use cygwin as unix, or else go with
mingw for "native" windows.

On a side-note: win64 is working surprisingly well! It seems there has been
real progress made by the mingw-w64 project since I last tried it.
