-----------------------------------------
http://github.com/juranki/couchdb/commit/db5a8737d42509ee943f676cb30c9a87639a2770
is a variation of the previous patch.
It moves the platform specific handling to couch_file and supports the delete,
rename pattern (if the caller has the pids of the couch_file processes).
> (CouchDB on Windows) compaction can not be done.

> Environment: Windows XP, Erlang/OTP R12B-3

> During compacting, rename the current DB file to a .old file is not allowed
> on Windows.
> A possible workaround for this could be:
> 1. Close current DB file (.couch);
> 2. Send db_updated to update to use .compact;
> 3. After 5sec, delete the .couch file; ---- This is done in a linked
> process, after that, this process send a message to update_loop;
> 4. After received the message in update_loop, close current DB file which is
> a .compact file, then rename it to .couch;
> 5. Finally, db_updated again to use this new .couch file.
> Maybe, there would be a "pause" in service?
