While you are at it, POSIX requires an update to underlying file's ctime
sometime between mmap(... MAP_SHARED, PROT_WRITE ...) and the
corresponding munmap() or msync() if the mapped region was written to.  If
Windows correctly updates mtime on a mapped file, then one possible way to
do this might be: when munmap()ing, if mtime is newer than ctime (but less
than or equal to now), adjust ctime to match mtime.
