Now, I think we can introduce POSIX file semantics on win32. Just check out
the articles I found. Particularly the second one.
I really like this stuff!
I'm going to take a look to it tomorrow, maybe we can fix this
bug-inducing behavior once and forever.
Petr, If we manage to do it with win32 I think this is a much better
solution than moving files around, as it is a very expensive operation
in Windows when you do it between different partitions.
Yes, using FILE_SHARE_DELETE sounds like a good plan. Be careful though:

if you delete the file, even though the DeleteFile succeeds, it still
exists in the directory until the last HANDLE is closed. So an attempt
to create a file with the same name will still fail. If you are
deleting a file in order to create a new one with the same name, then
you better call MoveFile() before DeleteFile().
