Oi... windows. Looks like mmap is the biggest problem, but the code has fallbacks for when mmap fails, so "#ifdef HAVE_MMAP" in the right places is enough. Other than that I think it is just large files (lseek, off_t), is there a portable way to do that? (other than POSIX of course, which is what this code already uses). Worst case, some more preprocessor stuff.
Anyway... for someone with a few hours and a windows box and compiler this should be easy enough to make work on both windows and POSIX. Whether it is worth the trouble is another question entirely...
