Yeah, I think that's the basic problem. Even so, you'd think the portable
libraries would at least try to support the same semantics where they can. I
hear the "Windows can't delete an open file" so often it's silly. Why
wouldn't you make your C compiler's "open" function set the flag that says
"let me delete open files" if that's how it works in POSIX?
