Seems unnecessary. Won't happen by default; could happen with MDB_NOSYNC but 
that risk is already documented.

OK.

OK.

Will spend more time looking at this closer.

Probably could simplify this, just obtain the write mutex unconditionally, 
then there's no need to loop or retry. But also, this depends on MDB_NOLOCK - 
if that's set, then do no locking at all.

OK if the lmdb implementation is OK.

Probably OK. Needs some typographical cleanup. Not sure "syncbytes" is a good 
name.

Gratuitous change. We used minutes since the BDB backend uses minutes, and the 
intention was to maintain parallel functionality. What's the justification for 
this change?

A bit ambiguous. me_tail_txnid is actually the ID of the oldest reader, not 
the "last" reader. I'm not convinced of the value of this patch, since you can 
already view the readers list.

OK.
