Thanks, but I'd prefer to skip this change, unless there is a
reasonably modern portability target that lacks the fsync function.
I think of this as an opportunity to avoid adding infrastructure
(and #ifdefs) that may never be used :-)
We know how hard it is to remove such bits once they've been added.
Ah, yes, the rule of laziness. :-) Since I was remembering wrong, I
don't care either way. I just thought it was already committed, but I
don't need it committed (nor mind if it is reverted, if it was).
sync() however /is/ missing from NSK and also (at least as my original
bug report indicated) Interix. Since it is new as of 2003 at the latest
(and possibly Vista), I think SUA can be considered "a modern 'system'". :-)
