/* Cygwin does not seem to have the design flaw in fcntl() locking that
 * most other systems do (see flocksim.c for details).  If some cretin
 * decides to implement that design flaw, then Cygwin will have to use
 * flocksim.  Also, we don't test NFS either.
 *
 * However, Cygwin does have the Windows misfeature (introduced in NT 4.0)
 * that you can not write to any segment which has a shared lock, and you
 * can't lock a zero-byte segment either.  This screws up the shared-write
 * mailbox drivers (mbx, mtx, mx, and tenex).  As a workaround, we'll only
 * lock the first byte of the file, meaning that you can't write that byte
 * shared.  It's been suggested to lock the maximum off_t type, but that
 * risks having a future version of Windows (or Cygwin) deciding that this
 * also means "no lock".
