I doubt there’s an mmap(2) on Windows. I’d rather call an existing file copy function than make and test my own.

We already use boost::filesystem in a dozen places. It’s not a new added dependency. It gives us a lot of portable stuff that we would otherwise have to have a #ifdef for each OS and test everywhere.
