I don't understand - Qt docs say that QFile::handle() can be used with C 
library functions. Is Windows mmap() different somehow?
Also, I checked and ksycoca (kdelibs/kdecore/sycoca/ksycoca.cpp) uses mmap in 
almost exactly the same way as I am (only difference is that sycoca uses 
read-only mode, I use read-write). Does sycoca work fine on windows?
