How does cygwin do shared memory on Windows? Windows support real shared
memory, surely the cygwin guys are using "real" shared memory. Are you sure
that this is the problem? If so, might we not be able to use a few
macros/#ifdefs to do it right?
I'll be up for that if you guys don't mind some "ifdef/endif" stuff here and
there.
