This reduces the global namespace pollution and allows for
a win32 compiler (eg. Open Watcom) to provide these routines
in a header other than <dirent.h> (eg in <io.h>).

For information on FlushFileBuffers(), see the msdn document
at msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364439(VS.85).aspx
Note that Windows 2000 is shown as the minimum windows version
to support FlushFileBuffers(), so if we wish to support Win9X
and NT4, we will need to add code to dynamically check if
kernel32.dll contains the function.
The only error return mentioned in the msdn document is
ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE, which is returned if the file/device
(eg console) is not buffered. The fsync(2) manpage says that
EINVAL is returned in errno, if "fd is bound to a special
file which does not support synchronization".

In particular, the git__mmap() and git__munmap() routines provide
the interface to platform specific memory-mapped file facilities.
We provide implementations for unix and win32, which can be found
in their own sub-directories.
